In particular:
objectives concern the knowledge and the ability to understand social emergencies; and main case studies with reference to the Italian case; knowledge and understanding applied to the retrieval of information and data.
The objectives related to independent judgment - understood as the ability to produce autonomous judgments starting from the interpretation of a database, arriving at coherent reflections on social issues - concern the definition of a phenomenon as an emergency; and the methods of intervention.
With regard to communication skills - conceived as the ability to express information, ideas, problems and solutions to other interlocutors - objectives concern communication in emergency situations.
With regard to the ability to learn - understood as the ability necessary to advance in studies with a high degree of autonomy - the objectives concern the analysis of methods for dealing with emergencies - Prerequisites

About Knowledge and Understanding – Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: Summary.
The exam verifies, with regard to knowledge and understanding, the knowledge of the methods and techniques for understanding information and data and the ability to understand the complexity of emergency situations, both with reference to the definition of a phenomenon as an emergency, and with reference to techniques for managing emergencies of different kinds.
About Knowledge and Understanding – Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: Detail.
The exam verifies: knowledge and understanding of social emergencies; and the main case studies with reference to the Italian case; knowledge and understanding applied to the retrieval of information and data and their processing.
With regard to the independence of judgment occurs the
autonomy of judgment on the definition of a phenomenon as an emergency; and the methods of intervention.
In this sense, independent judgment is verified - understood as the ability to produce autonomous judgments starting from the interpretation of a database, arriving at coherent reflections on social issues.
With regard to communication skills, conceived as the ability to transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to other interlocutors, it should be noted that these communication skills are tested on: communication in emergency situations; ability to propose solutions to complex social problems.
The ability to learn is understood as the ability necessary to advance in studies with a high degree of autonomy.
The exam verifies the ability to learn operating methods to face social emergencies and to interpret them.
In case a student intends to anticipate his/her exam in a year preceding the one it is scheduled in his/her curriculum, it is recommended to anticipate as well the attendance of the lessons and to schedule the exam in the first useful session after the lessons have been concluded. - Extended program
- The course analyzes
different fields of research on emergencies, through procedures for processing information and data.
In the case of emergencies, social changes are read through the main fields of transformation: from climate to terrorism, from migration to demography, the conceptualization of emergency is proposed in a critical way. The critical reading deconstructs the main contemporary themes of risk, emergency and threat. In this perspective, information and data management corresponds to the effort to overcome, through methodological rigor, the media narratives relating to some specific emergencies. - Obiettivi Agenda 2030 per lo sviluppo sostenibile
