The course is a continuation of a similar endeavor conducted in 2006-2012. It generally maintained its initial structure addressing major areas of sustainable human development from both academic and policy angles. The experience so far suggests that this combination of theoretical exposure and practical experience makes it unique and interesting for participants not just from Europe and CIS but also beyond the region.

In 2013 the main purpose of the course was to equip participants with a deep understanding of sustainable human development, MDGs, and their policy relevance in respective countries in a creative, out-of-the-box manner. An important objective of the course was to expose its participants to different development paradigms, help them understand the rationale behind them, and understand their relevance in specific development contexts.

The course was conducted online in March-April 2013. It aimed to familiarize the participants with the main theoretical approaches in the area of sustainable human development. Its major objective was to provide the participants with basic information and knowledge of sustainable human development.
 
The course was structured by thematic areas moderated by individual Lead Lecturers. Each thematic area had its electronic library, forum, and blog as a vehicle for the exchange of views and discussions among the participants. The Lead Lecturers moderated the online forums and assessed the quality of individual participants’ contributions. 
 
Participants are awarded a certificate upon successful completion of the distance learning course.
