Objective
After completing the course, the student will:
- grasp the principles of impactful, visionary, and responsible art and design, as well as their application in design projects
- be able to create artistically significant and ethically sustainable concepts, productions, and/or design solutions that positively impact society and the environment

- master reasons to argue for the significance of design and art disciplines in planetary sustainability.
Execution methods
The lecture part of the course will be conducted in a hybrid format for all participants. The group assignment for the practical work is related to the current development and research projects of the Faculty of Arts, as well as solution-oriented design (which may include product and service design, visual communication, and pedagogical solutions). Course participants will be divided into small groups across different fields of study, ensuring a mix of students from various programs. The grouping also takes into account that some master's programs are entirely conducted remotely, with the aim that distance learners form their own groups.
HYBRID 2:Teaching is delivered in real time, both face-to-face and online, and the student is free to choose either face-to-face or online participation. In both cases, participation takes place in real time. Teaching is delivered according to a predetermined, published schedule. In addition, the implementation includes independent study and assignments to be completed independently
