The Covid-19 pandemic caused a worldwide crisis that is having a deep impact in every aspect of our life: economic, political, cultural, psychological and social. After a particularly difficult year, the Politecnico di Torino wanted to promote a new initiative: a short course – intended for students in the first place but open to everyone – to try and find our way out of a crisis that is causing confusion and uncertainty.
That is why the University designed “Tempi Difficili – Mappe per orientarsi nella prima pandemia del XXI secolo”: a journey in 11 stops during which famous experts will reflect upon the pandemic from various points of view, trying to provide useful means to cope with the predicament in which we found ourselves in.
Throughout “Tempi difficili” we succesfully livestreamed 11 lessons, about 45 to 60 minutes long, followed by 10 to 15 minutes of live interaction with our audience. The on-demand videos are available here.
