In this course, we aim to familiarise students critically and constructively with conceptual and operational tools to cope with these transition challenges.

With the help of these tools, interdisciplinary teams of students will identify a transition challenge and develop a strategy to address it. In recognition of the open nature of the field, students will at the same time be prompted to critically assess the tools and propose improvements. 

The process will be articulated in four iterative stages: 
1. Imagine: identifying a transition challenge, and a vision that could address it;
2. Connect: developing a systemic understanding of the challenge;  
3. Act: conceiving and implementing a simple, real-life intervention towards the realisation of the vision;
4. Assess: monitoring and evaluating the impact of the intervention.

In parallel to the development of the strategy, individual students will be asked to reflect and draw lessons for the improvement of the intervention, the contents of the strategy, and the process of developing the strategy.
