The International Summer Course 2025 focuses on “Communication, Social Innovation, and Sustainable Resource Governance in the Digital Era.” This program explores the role of development communication, social innovation, and sustainable resource management in addressing global challenges through effective communication strategies.

In the digital era, information and communication technology (ICT) has opened new opportunities for enhancing transparency, public engagement, and decision-making in resource governance and social innovation. Digital platforms, including social media, mobile applications, and data analytics tools, enable faster, more inclusive, and data-driven communication, empowering communities to participate in sustainable development efforts.

Social innovation plays a crucial role in creating creative solutions to social and environmental challenges. Through cross-sector collaboration, digital technology, and community empowerment, innovative solutions can be implemented more efficiently and with a broader impact.

Sustainable resource governance requires a holistic and participatory approach, where effective communication helps build awareness, shape public opinion, and drive collective action to ensure responsible resource management. This Summer Course provides a comprehensive learning experience, equipping participants with theoretical knowledge and practical skills to contribute to sustainable and inclusive development in the digital age.
