Open Academy
Kursus on gümnasistidele ning kutsekoolis õppijatele, inglise keeles. Have you ever wondered why some countries are rich and some are poor? Have you ever thought about what you can do to fight against poverty and inequality? Welcome to development studies. Development studies look at history, economics, gender, politics and more to understand why some countries, societies and people become powerful while others become weak. The aim of development studies is to think of creative ways to address social inequality in our world. In development studies we want to understand the policies, actions and interventions that bring about the kinds of social change that lead to higher levels of well-being amongst people.
