If you found it interesting, we very much apreciate if you help us to disseminate the info. *//* The idea is to train active agents to work with new models of strategic action, versatile actors who can bring into being new forms of organisation and initiatives, who are able to work with them and lead sectors that transform, and are in the process of being transformed. The Master’s Degree is to be offered in Barcelona in the coming academic year. It will be taught in Spanish and is more geared to action than to academic reflection and technological innovation. No prior technological knowledge is required, and its aim is precisely to help academic institutions, professionals and organisations to resituate themselves and adapt to present-day conditions. *//*The Master’s Degree in Civil Rights, Technopolitics and Digital Culture is designed for public administrators, researchers and academics in political science, the social sciences and the humanities, journalists, lawyers, political officeholders, entrepreneurs, economists, activists and managers in the third sector and in organisations undergoing transformation, as well as executive staff in organisations and institutions promoting programmes of participation, online networking, social responsibility and political influence. */ "MASTER'S DEGREE IN FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS, TECNOPOLITICS AND DIGITAL CULTURE"/* *WEBSITE:*http://www.barcelonaschoolofmanagement.upf.edu/en/master-degree-social-right...
