The new Sustainable Development Goals, approved by the UN in September 2015, will frame policies and actions for political, economic and social development for the next 15 years. The call to international cooperation is urgent: poverty, inequality, conflict, instability, and deep uncertainty still affect everyday life of the majority of world population. The ASERI Master’s Course in International Cooperation and Development offers a privileged framework for interdisciplinary analysis of the global situation, and for exploring tentative solutions to the world problems, through the coordinated efforts of governmental and non-governmental actors. Cooperation is indeed a key word in pursuing development and inclusion: cooperation is about empowering the vulnerable, the poor and the marginalized in becoming protagonists of their own development; cooperation is about international aid, but even more about appropriate national and global policies. Ultimately, it is about bridging gaps among people, groups and institutions.WHY THIS MASTER’S COURSEThis Master’s program conjugates theoretical knowledge and practical experience, so to give students a specific set of professional skills to successfully face the global job market thanks to its distinctive characteristics:The upper limit to the number of students in the class allows for their effective interactions with instructors, with professionals, and with the international group of peers;Class activities include lectures and open discussions, simulations, case studies, team work and presentations;Experts and executives take an active part in the program, sharing their professional experiences with the students and enhancing students’ real-life skills:The internship experience provides an opportunity for students to directly apply and develop the skills acquired during courses.WHY WITH ASERISince 1996, young people from all over the world have been developing their international careers at ASERI, and are currently engaged to promote development, inclusion, human dignity, participation in all continents, working for national and international institutions, firms and non governmental organizations.MICaD is an expression of ASERI’s long and diversified experience of research and teaching on global issues, and development issues in particular.
