THE "ZROZUM" SERIES – WORKSHOP MODULES

Four areas of the modern world

Boutique workshops that develop social awareness, the skill of asking sharp questions (especially important in the age of AI) and critical thinking. Choose the area that fascinates you most.

UNDERSTAND world politics

An intensive course in analysing international relations, designed for informed participation in public debate. You will understand the principles of diplomacy, the mechanisms of power, the links between geography and politics, and the strategies that guide states and international organisations (such as the UN or NATO) on the global stage. Every session includes analysis of the latest world news and interactive debates and presentations in which you learn critical thinking and effective argument.

UNDERSTAND the human mind

Dive into the fascinating world of psychology to discover the scientific basis of how the human brain really works. You will explore the mechanisms that drive our behaviour, learn about cognitive biases, methods of influence and how social roles affect our everyday decisions. The interactive part of the class is a shared analysis of real case studies and research, plus running fascinating mini-experiments that let you test theory in practice.

UNDERSTAND world cultures

Set off on an inspiring journey to understand how diverse traditions, religions and value systems have shaped societies across continents (at different moments in world history). You will gain knowledge that lets you look at social phenomena with openness and better understand people from entirely different cultural backgrounds. Every meeting is built on a lively, moderated discussion around real texts, reports and problems, teaching you to weigh different perspectives with respect and sound argument.

UNDERSTAND the world of economics

Demystify complex market processes and see how money shapes the reality around us. You will get to know the mechanisms of global trade inside out, the causes of economic crises, inflation, and how large capital is managed in the 21st century. We turn textbook theory straight into practice by interactively solving authentic business and economic case studies, making it easier to navigate a fast-changing world.
