European Master "Complexity models and Human ecology: Instruments for the development of communities (2000-2002)

07 February 2000

With the European Community’s sponsorship, in association with the Psychology Department of the University of Turin and of the Second University of Naples, the Fondazione Laboratorio Mediterraneo has started the European Master’s course “Models of Complexity and Human Ecology: tools for community development".
It is aimed at training graduates in psychological disciplines from several Euro-Mediterranean Countries, who would be able to work for the development of empowerment, that is promoting individual and group resources at a community level; able to enhance culture and research resources from Southern Italy areas, increasing the competences for the government of the territory through the active participation of the citizens.
In fact, we think that it is essential to contribute all over the Mediterranean area in the current social transformation processes, and the Master’s course is meant to be a qualified response in terms of employment for young graduates to be trained at studying and surveying social and interpersonal relationships in order to define planning and working actions within the community development respecting its complexity, putting in operation skills and traditions of the Southern culture together with participation and social development.
