SANT'ANNA SEASONAL SCHOOLS
The Seasonal Schools are training programs of excellence, which are strongly interdisciplinary, and focused on the School’s frontier research topics. The Seasonal Schools are also opportunities for meetings and exchanges with other high-performing students from all over Italy as well as from abroad.
Participants will be awarded a certificate of attendance at the end of the program after passing a final examination, with full recognition of the credits (CFU) indicated in each call.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The main target of the Circular Economy and Sustainability Management (CESM) Seasonal School is represented by students from different backgrounds interested in the field of efficient resource management and circular economy. The CESM course explores organizational aspects and innovation facets related to all phases of the product life cycle; moreover, it provides a practical overview of how processes, decisions, and business models should change in light of the new circular economy paradigm. In more detail, the CESM Seasonal School consists of five training modules lasting one day each on issues such as circular economy assessment, circular design, strategy development & business models, and communication. Finally, a one-day laboratory will be scheduled to apply what students have learned in all the previous lessons. Therefore, the learning objectives of the CESM encompass: helping participants to acquire a framework of useful skills to seize the opportunities in the economic shift; managing the challenges and transformation processes in a circular logic in order to encourage the practical application of the knowledge gained.

TEACHING METHODOLOGIES
Students will be interactively and proactively engaged in the training process, thanks to the integration of the theoretical concepts with the practical experience under the guidance of the trainers, encompassing both academics and practitioners. The use of experiential techniques and the combination of training and laboratories will enable the participants to consolidate existing skills and increase self-awareness. The innovative teaching methods will also rely extensively on companies’ experiences in order to provide real-world examples and the lessons learned. Case studies will also be included amongst the teaching tools with the purpose of encouraging the practical application of theoretical concepts, thus bridging the gap between theory and practice.
