| "Regards croisés sur les migrations" |
| "«La migration fait partie de l’ADN de l’humanité. La migration est une réponse normale aux défis économiques, politiques, sociaux et environnementaux. Tant qu’il y aura des différentiels de développement et de démocratie sur notre planète, il y aura des mouvements migratoires.» Ces mots sont de François Crépeau, le Rapporteur spécial des Nations Unies sur les droits de l'homme des migrants. Pourtant, les discours sur les migrations sont rarement positifs. Les informations parlent d’afflux de migrants, de mesures prises pour limiter les migrations... et livrent des images fortes sur les personnes en fuite sur les routes ou sur la mer. Pas un jour ne se passe sans que l’actualité ne nous confronte à des questions complexes liées aux migrations. Le sujet est omniprésent dans les médias, dans la politique, dans les discussions familiales... et pourtant, il est largement méconnu. Ce cours offre des regards croisés, interdisciplinaires, sur différentes thématiques transversales liées aux migrations. Une dizaine de professeurs et de chercheurs en sciences humaines, issus de 6 facultés différentes, sont à l’origine de ce programme: anthropologues, économistes, démographes, juristes, sociologues et psychologues. Ils s’associent à des experts belges et internationaux pour informer, échanger et raisonner les questions que posent les migrations. Confrontez votre regard à celui de ces experts autour des questions suivantes: Quels sont les avantages des migrations pour les pays d’accueil? Est-il permis de refouler les migrants aux frontières? Les migrations sont-elles positives pour l’économie? Comment les familles de migrants vivent-elles la migration? Vous apprendrez à repérer les préjugés et stéréotypes, à décoder les récits médiatiques pour pouvoir analyser les phénomènes des migrations de manière plus critique."

| "Applied Scrum for Agile Project Management" |
| "Version 2 of this course series delivers beyond the original agile certification. It includes updated content, better audit and verified learner experiences, and bonus videos on key topics. Bonus video for this course is on “Agile in Government.” The follow-on to this course series on “Advanced Scrum” is expected by the end of Summer 2020. Scrum and Agile are often considered synonymous, and there is a good reason. Scrum embodies the simplest and most pure approach to managing project work at the team level. Scrum is employed by over half of all Agile practitioners across all industries. While agile may have started in software development, many industries now use an agile methodology to deliver their work. The basis for agile, the agile manifesto, extends well beyond its origins in extreme programming and agile software development. Development teams around the world are now using kanban boards and assigning strong product owners to direct self-organizing teams to deliver on prioritized product backlogs. And nearly every new product has some sort of IT component and goes through an agile development lifecycle. Today nearly 100% of IT organizations use Agile and many other industries are quickly following; The likelihood of being on a Scrum or Scrum-like project is quickly approaching 50/50 or better over time. While the Mastering Agile Professional Certificate program emphasizes principles at the heart of all Agile frameworks, in this course we start by learning the key project management processes, roles, mechanics, and philosophies behind Scrum. This will provide the basis for all understanding Agile in its purest form over four weeks exploring Why, Who, How, and finally What Scrum looks like applied in the real world. From understanding the agile team members, like scrum master and product owner, to the important differences in lean and agile processes. While this course will not make you an agile certified practitioner (PMI-ACP), or certified scrum master (CSM), it offers a more fundamental agile certification based on agile principles and how scaled agile is applied in industry today. You'll finish this course more than ready to begin your agile journey, which we hope takes you to the next course in the series on “Sprint Planning for Faster Agile Team Delivery.” Upon successful completion of this course, learners can earn 10 Professional Development Unit (PDU) credits, which are recognized by the Project Management Institute (PMI). PDU credits are essential to those looking to maintain certification as a Project Management Professional (PMP)."

| "Agile Process, Project, and Program Controls" |
| "Version 2 of this course series delivers beyond the original agile certification. It includes updated content, better audit and verified learner experiences, and bonus videos on key topics. The follow-on to this course series on “Advanced Scrum” is expected by the end of Summer 2020. Agile provides greater opportunities for control and risk management and offers unique benefits that traditional methods miss. As a project manager or program manager the emphasis should always be on delivering value and benefits. With complex projects these demand increase and knowing you've delivered value can be difficult for even those with years of project management experience. **** However, in this course we'll cover the agile practices and management skills necessary to delivery value with certainty, such as: **** Transparency with daily standup meetings discussing work status, risk, and pace. How a clear definition of done drives acceptance by all key stakeholders. Measuring performance and benefits of working solutions during project delivery. Iteratively testing to gain authentic feedback on solution requirements and stability. Regular retrospectives that drive continuous improvement into the team. How agile project management ensures success and uniquely tackles business risk Quality management principles to reduce project risk and technical debt Manage and reduce interdependencies between project teams to scale programs at speed Making the business case for agile contracts and how they ensure deliverables achieve business outcomes and objectives In this course, you will learn how these levers of control far exceed traditional management methods of earned value management (EVM), which relies on estimates and no changes in scope. We'll discuss how the key to unlocking the control potential is to learn what to manage, and how to measure it. It's no longer just ensure the deliverables are delivered on-time and under-budget. This shift to benefits management is in-line with how the PMBOK is changing to integrate program management concerns into project management with an emphasis on value and not just delivery of scope specifications. The Agile revolution requires program managers to embrace this type of continuing education to advance and grow in your project management career. **** So how do programs ensure smooth project delivery? **** This answer is bottoms-up with different controls at each level of management, separating the concerns between the program, the individual projects, and the team processes. For teams, it’s a focus on team velocity and how to ensure its measurement is useful for diagnosing internal and external productivity constraints. For the project, the focus is on how to integrate teams of teams on related projects and ensure stead delivery of product roadmaps. For the program, the focus is on what capabilities are delivered and how to measure return on investment (ROI) capabilities provide. This also requires understanding your portfolio and contracting processes. **** While this course will not make you an agile certified practitioner (PMI-ACP), or certified scrum master (CSM), it offers a more fundamental agile certification based on agile principles and how agile leadership is applied in industry today. You'll finish this course more than ready to continue your agile journey, which we hope either completes your certificate with us or takes you to one of our most popular courses in the series, ""Agile Leadership Principles and Practices."" Upon successful completion of this course, learners can earn 10 Professional Development Unit (PDU) credits, which are recognized by the Project Management Institute (PMI).

The follow-on to this course series on “Advanced Scrum” is expected by the end of Summer 2020. **** Innovative products and services change lives, and having the right innovative process creates an competitive advantage. Ultimately, innovation is about one thing: problem solving. **** As an agile problem solver, you'll need to expand your critical thinking skills to address the key sources of risk in developing best solutions for your new products and business lines. The Problem-solving techniques covered begin with problem definition, beginning with job descriptions and applying the right soft skills to enhance requirements gathering. This ensures you're targeting a good problem to solve, and that you understand the business model. The course then moves on to practices such as ""brainstorm and storm drain"" to target new creative solutions. You will learn how innovation works on fast feedback cycles to test possible solutions and target root causes of defects. Creative thinking isn't a straight line, and neither should the problem-solving process be a straight line. Each course of action needs early and frequent testing. **** Key lessons taught in this course are: Delivering business value, not technical scope with User Stories Why innovating is the key to risk management and gaining a competitive advantage The best innovation process for startups in new markets or disruptive innovations, versus sustaining product and process innovations How to employ an innovation process that fits your business model and situation Using Cross-functional teams and user stories to gather accurate requirements Leveraging constraints to apply tested solutions to new technology and new innovations Applying Test-Driven Design (TDD) to deliver better designs with less designing By following best practices of Agile, including timeboxes, constraint-based thinking processes, and empathetic problem solving, you'll learn how to provide a sustainable innovation environment for your teams. While this course will not make you an agile certified practitioner (PMI-ACP), or certified scrum master (CSM), it offers a more fundamental agile certification based on agile principles and how agile innovation is accomplished in industry today.

The follow-on to this course series on “Advanced Scrum” is expected by the end of Summer 2020. Agile can often challenge project managers in the realm of leadership. Old styles of command-control are now a thing of the past, except for the most conservative organizations. While good leaders employ a variety of leadership skills and leadership styles to motivate team members, even this is not enough. Simply setting a common goal and maintaining positive attitudes while raising your emotional intelligence will make you a better leader; but will it truly unlock your team's potential? **** Instead of leadership traits, Agile leadership emphasizes facilitation and communication skills. This is teachable and much more powerful. This unique and effective leadership style challenges traditional beliefs in what leadership means. **** Great leaders understand that the leader can no longer stand in the way of their team. Modern society, mindsets, and global competition demand new leadership roles, and leadership qualities all together that empower and motivate the team to new levels of productivity. Business leaders that miss this critical shift in leadership styles concede a powerful competitive advantage to the Agile leader. **** In this course, you will learn how this new style of leadership redefines and redistributes team roles by: **** Motivating through empowerment to gain better decisions Facilitating the creativity and inclusivity of a high-functioning team Identifying and managing decision making biases Negotiating conflicts across individuals, teams, and organizations Ensuring success through delegation and powerful constraint-based metrics. You’ll learn to turn one internally motivated and critically thinking mind into many; and driving speed and innovation through leveraging all talents on the team.

The follow-on to this course series on “Advanced Scrum” is expected by the end of Summer 2020. Speed is by far the most sought-after benefit of Agile. First mover advantages, the economic cost of delays, and the enabling effect on innovation drive the search for speed. Agile offers the fastest means of attaining speed: managing scope. But beyond the hype over scope management, there are key principles of non-traditional task management that ensure the scope chosen is delivered as efficiently as possible. In this course, you'll learn how to drive speed into any project by selecting and limiting work-in-progress through agile planning and task management. There are two principle roles involved, the scrum master and the product owner. However, the entire scrum team needs to understand the principles behind backlog refinement, sprint planning, and execution throughout the sprint cycle. In this course we'll show you how to run effective sprint planning meetings that produce a sprint backlog ready to deliver on your sprint goals and release objectives. You'll learn the power of prioritizing backlog items, and why we agile planning and sprint planning isn't just a managed list you work top-down in priority order. Instead, scrum teams commit to achieving goals and work together to ensure the user stories that are highest priority get delivered in this sprint, so the upcoming sprint isn't delayed. This also means understanding your team capacity and how to ensure safe and on-time delivery of the highest items on the product backlog that actually matter to your customer.

| "Durant les six semaines que durera notre cours, nous parcourrons, accompagnés par la musique de Bizet, mais aussi par celle de Wagner et de Strauss, les ouvrages majeurs de Friedrich Nietzsche: La Naissance de la tragédie, Le Gai savoir, Ainsi parlait Zarathoustra ou encore La Généalogie de la morale. Nous entrerons dans son univers conceptuel et tenterons de dissiper les malentendus tenaces qui entourent, aujourd’hui encore, certaines notions comme le «surhumain» ou la «volonté de puissance». Nous évoquerons les étapes marquantes de sa vie et montrerons comment il a tissé, à partir d’expériences très intimes, l’expérience de la maladie et de la souffrance, une pensée originale qui fait droit à la puissance pulsionnelle du corps. Et nous lirons et commenterons de nombreux extraits de son œuvre afin de faire entendre sa voix et de faire vibrer son style, unique dans l’histoire de la philosophie. Nietzsche a dit à propos de Montaigne: «Le fait qu’un tel homme ait écrit accroît le plaisir de vivre sur cette terre». J’espère pouvoir vous convaincre que le même hommage peut être rendu à Nietzsche lui-même, Nietzsche qui avait fait de la critique des conformismes le sens de sa quête philosophique, de la légèreté son idéal moral, et du chant et de la danse les formes d’expression privilégiées d’une vie pleinement vécue. A très bientôt pour ce cours d’introduction à la philosophie de Friedrich Nietzsche!"

| "This course, the second in a collection on Chinese history and culture, addresses how the Qin dynasty conquered China and established a new system of government and how the Han dynasty built a stable, centralized empire that lasted for hundreds of years. We cover the early history of Buddhism in China and how the rising feudal aristocracy responded to the loss of empire by looking inward. In this period, the Qin forged a new, unified empire, discovered new ways of mobilizing the population, and introduced the imperial ideology of “Cosmic Resonance”. However, this early dynasty was short-lived and soon gave way to the Han. Though the Han struggled with many tensions — centralism vs. regionalism, feudalism vs. bureaucracy — it lasted much longer than the Qin and established a stable relationship between Chinese society and the state. Later, aristocratic culture and concerns around self-actualization became important in Chinese culture. Buddhism was also established in this period, and learners will discover how that religion spread throughout the country. Join us to learn about China’s first unified empires and how the relationship to the self evolved with the spread of aristocratic culture and Buddhism."

| "Art and Design in the Digital Age" |
| "We tend to think of art and technology as two separate, almost opposite things. But what if we showed you that the development of technology owes its debt to artists? And that art would not be what it is, without technology? ""The digital age"", born out of the scientific and technological revolutions of the last 500 years, exposes the artificial divergence of disciplinary categories. It is an exciting moment in art and design history. On the one hand, technological tools change what we are capable of doing – and contemporary artists/designers indeed use those technologies with much imagination: from image processing to immersive virtual environments; from social networks to flash mobs and cyber-attacks; from fake news to surveillance systems - art had never had so many tools to play while directly interacting with us within our social realities. On the other hand, art does so while examining, distorting, criticizing and inventing new technologies as it allows us to imagine the furthest frontiers of what technology may be able to do. This course aims to look at these inter-disciplinary cross-overs between art, design and technology while asking: how does this new technological age is changing our culture, society and life? What do these teach us about ourselves? How can we reflect through it about our pasts, presents and futures? The course is aimed at anyone who is curious about what it means to be born and to live in ""the digital age"". The course combines lectures, interviews with theoreticians and artists, artwork analysis, case studies and stimulating discussions. The course also offers some practical exercises that will introduce you to basics in programming, digital image processing and 3D printing. You would not need preliminary knowledge of art history, but such knowledge may be helpful. This course was created and produced by Shenkar - Engineering. Design. Art."
