## ABOUT THE UEXT SUMMER UNIVERSITY

#### Possible futures

The world is in a deep crisis. Moreover, we all have a big responsibility in the short term. How to unify a world for a better and common future? Answers rely upon new understandings of society, different perceptions about us as humans, and a futuristic sense of long-term actions.  
The world has been talking more about its development since the early 2000s, defining the concept as the countries’ economic growth and how this was the path to end poverty. That is how governments, academia and the international organizations started talking about Global Development, where equity, social justice, strong institutions, access to health and education, among others are part of the discussions.  
The different stakeholders have a crucial role in the action plans that may look forward to building a better future; this is why it is so important to continue the debates in the classrooms.
