Capra Course

Description

Capra Course is my new online course, based on my textbook The Systems View of Life, coauthored with Pier Luigi Luisi and published by Cambridge University Press. This course is the realization of a dream I have had for many years. I hope that it will serve as a model for similar multidisciplinary courses at universities, colleges, and other institutions of learning.

Lectures

This course consists of twelve pre-recorded lectures, with one lecture being posted each week. Each lecture is about 40 minutes long. The course includes exclusive online discussion forums in which Fritjof will participate.

Six live sessions with Fritjof
The course offers two opening sessions in week one, two mid-term sessions around week 5-7 and two closing sessions by week 12. All live sessions are offered in two different time zones to allow for everyone to attend. Fritjof is present in all these sessions

Forums
All students will be able to fully interact both with Fritjof and other participants and share materials via the course forums. The number of students will be strictly limited, to allow high-quality interactions in our discussions.

Study Groups (optional)
Experienced alumni offer weekly or bi-weekly study groups in different languages. This is an excellent opportunity to learn and share in community and be guided by those who have already experienced the course. Some groups are themed and may emphasize the arts, education, health, activism, etc.

Fees
The fees for the course are structured in three tiers, a structure that has been created in order to allow as many people to participate as possible, independent of their current incomes.

A small number of scholarships are also available.
