We had a wonderful 4-day co-creation workshop (25-28 September 2024) where participants from 5 universities – Asian Institute of Technology (Thailand), Kasetsart University (Thailand), Thammasat University (Thailand), Heidelberg University (Germany), Maastricht University (Netherlands) – have come together to develop three transdisciplinary courses with active learning approaches.

This course emphasised the considerable advances many countries have made in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Resilience since the adoption of the Sendai framework (2015-2030), but also emphasised the differential impact of disasters on low-income countries, geographically vulnerable countries and on women and children as well as various disadvantaged groups.
Agricultural production is under increasing pressure from global forces such as climate change, resource depletion, economic pressures and shifting population dynamics. This course explored the urgent need for sustainable and resilient agricultural systems through a transdisciplinary lens.
