Sharing Visions
This is the first course of its kind on a global scale, specifically designed to prepare You to become a Posthuman Educator.
A pioneering program for those who embrace posthumanism not only as a theory, but as a transformative way of living, learning, and creating change.
Organized by the Posthuman Academy, in collaboration with the Global Posthuman Network, and the SIUA (Scuola d'Interazione Uomo-Animale), this intensive course is for anyone passionate about posthumanism.
Through world expert-led lectures, collaborative dialogue, curated readings, and personalized mentorship, the course offers a space for deep reflection and meaningful connection.
It invites You to explore how posthumanism can inform not just academic or creative projects, but the very ways we live, relate, and make sense of our place in the world.
From bioethical questions to ecological entanglements, we will engage with the evolving terrain of posthumanism—embracing how these insights can be embodied in our everyday choices, relationships, and lives.
The course "Posthuman Educator" is designed not only to disseminate knowledge but also to cultivate a qualified community rooted in posthumanist perspectives—empowered to serve as agents of cultural mediation and evolution, with concrete professional opportunities and real-world applications.
Join us to grow, share, and bring posthumanism to life—together!
