The course is divided into three modules.
The first module illustrates the general contents of the UN Agenda 20-30, as a global and transversal tool for the construction of peaceful, sustainable, inclusive and fair societies, focusing on the factors that favor or limit their application in the Mediterranean area. In particular we will discuss the different approaches to inclusion; of sustainable city models and societies and sustainability of services (accessibility, capacity and quality).
The second module is dedicated to the reception of these contents by the religious systems of the northern Mediterranean shore. Consideration will therefore be given to issues such as the universality of rights; lifestyles and religious differences; the challenge of vulnerability; local governance and religious pluralism; the actors of development, that is personalities of religious communities, civil society and political parties and their approach to the objectives of the UN Agenda; link between religion and business-economic models.
The same themes will also be addressed by the third module, developed by two foreign professors, dedicated to Agenda 20-30, seen from the perspective of the religious traditions of the southern shore of the Mediterranean, with particular reference to Morocco and Lebanon.
