The issues addressed are on the one hand meant to arouse curiosity, and, on the other hand, to indicate the usefulness of interdisciplinary knowledge in professional life as well as in social relations and interactions. They will be connected with current research results or with specialist professional experience. The module offers diverse forms of classes, involving in both innovative and professional ways of conveying knowledge, as well as interactive methods, inspiring students to actively participate in classes. The interdisciplinary assumptions of the module allow for the classes being taught by teachers representing various scientific disciplines, resulting in a multi-faceted presentation of the issues. In addition, the module can be taught in foreign languages. The student selects the subject matter of the classes from the submitted proposals.
