Overview
In response to the emergence of issues related to health, the environment, and citizenship (GMOs, climate change, gender identity, secularism, pandemics, etc.), the education sector and the private sector (social and solidarity economy; nonprofit organizations; local governments) are increasingly committing—on a voluntary and sometimes legally binding basis—to sustainable development policies.
The ReSODDE-ESEC program offers training designed to develop the skills needed to design and implement training policies in the field of sustainable development, whether in businesses (CSR) or in the field of education (in the areas of “education for” health, the environment, and citizenship).
This program is open to students with general or professional bachelor’s degrees (or equivalent) and is also designed for practicing professionals. It is a two-year program.
Objectives
For students in their initial training, the master’s program prepares them to become facilitators, trainers, advisors, or project managers in education for sustainable development—focusing on health, the environment, and citizenship—within the nonprofit sector and the international solidarity sector.
It also prepares students for careers as project managers in the private sector, helping to implement corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives in companies seeking to adopt a sustainable development policy.
For professionals pursuing continuing education or returning to school, this master’s program enables them to take on support roles within National Education institutions, particularly those in the health and medical-social sectors; to enhance their professional skills, which can be applied directly in their current roles and/or lead to advancement into positions requiring specialized expertise or training. For professionals in the private sector, it enables them to develop the skills necessary to implement CSR initiatives in both the private and public sectors.
For everyone, it offers the opportunity to pursue doctoral studies and conduct research in these fields.
Expertise and Skills
The ESEC Master’s program offers training on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that integrates disciplinary knowledge and psychosocial skills. It also helps students develop an epistemological framework and an ethical approach to these socially pressing issues.
Program
The program will be offered in-person only, at the Montpellier Faculty of Education campus.
During the first year of the master’s program, approximately half of the course units are shared with other tracks.
The second year of the master’s program lasts approximately 20 weeks, with 12 hours of instruction per week concentrated over two days (i.e., 14 weeks in Semester 1 and 10 weeks in Semester 2).
A series of courses will also be held during the fall and February breaks.
For working professionals returning to school, the program can be completed over several years by accumulating credits from the various course units.
The thesis may be based on an internship completed in France or abroad.
