The School of Sustainability (SoS) is a pre-bachelor, action-based vocational education course focused on building skills that can be professionally applied towards efficient climate knowledge and action. It is the result of the collective work of three youth-led organizations: ISEC, TNGO, and Rethinking Climate.
About the Program
Climate Change is one of the most compelling issues of the 21st century. Today businesses, institutions, and citizens all across the world are today called to adapt to more sustainable standards of life, politics, and economics. Preserving the environment requires the education of future policymakers, voters, and businesspeople about the reality of climate change, alongside the choices that one can make to embrace environmental sustainability from a young age.
Acknowledging the challenges posed by remote learning and its impacts on the quality of educational standards, we are proud to present the School of Sustainability (SoS). Moved by the imperative of making education more accessible, students will be given the possibility to learn from high-profile experts and activists in the industry and interact with them during Q&A sessions. Moreover, lessons, workshops, and group projects will be offered to students in order to build skills that are fundamental for the environmental citizens of tomorrow.
First Edition of “Spring School of Sustainability”
The first edition of the Spring School of Sustainability is being offered by TNGO in partnership with ISEC Italia and Rethinking Climate. The School is aimed at providing students with actionable knowledge and valued skills as prospective workers in the green industry and citizens in a world affected by climate change. The program will start on March 15, 2022, and run for a total of three months with a mix of asynchronous and live content for the students.
What will the school include?
The program includes four modules, each composed of lectures, live sessions, skill-building workshops, and case studies to provide students with topical subjects to think critically of issues at the core of sustainability studies. The modules included in the Spring School are:
- Introduction to Sustainability Studies

School News and Events
A never-before-used Dutch emergency law, a suspended Chinese CEO, and a Beijing export ban that nearly stopped Volkswagen’s production line. The Nexperia affair turned an unglamorous chipmaker into the flashpoint of an EU–China struggle over strategic industry. China’s swift retaliation revealed just how fragile Europe’s grip on its own industrial base has become, and how readily economic interdependence is now used as a weapon.

As artificial intelligence increasingly transforms societies, economies, and political systems, questions of ethics, human dignity, and social cohesion gain renewed importance. This paper explores the potential role of Vatican diplomacy in addressing these challenges. Drawing on Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical “Magnifica Humanitas” (2026), it argues that the Holy See represents a unique source of moral authority and soft power in a rapidly changing world. Unlike actors relying on military or economic influence, Vatican diplomacy promotes dialogue, mediation, and human-centered development. In an age shaped by competing technological futures, it may help foster alternative narratives grounded in solidarity, peace, and human dignity.
