Teaching methods

All events have positive and negative impacts on the surrounding society. When we want to reduce these impacts, it is important to understand what is the cause of these impacts. In this course, we learn about responsibility and the aspects of sustainable development and how to implement them in event management. As a learning task, we implement a work plan to draw up a sustainable development plan for the event.
