About the project
The course is one of the outcomes of the (e)mission (im)possible project, co-funded by the European Union, which aims to build pathways towards the decarbonisation of the cooperation and humanitarian aid sector by providing key competences to professionals, volunteers and students in the sector.
The project is the result of cooperation between six organisations in Italy (A Sud, Un Ponte Per, Fondazione Ecosistemi), Spain (Iroko, Bosque y Comunidad, Universidad de Cadiz) and Portugal (AIDGLOBAL). Fundamental to this edition of the course is the contribution of the Department of Communication and Social Research of Università La Sapienza in Rome, a project associate partner.
