First postgraduate course on the meanings and spiritual values of nature, University of Girona, Catalonia

This will be the first university course offered in Spain for the purpose of addressing the meanings and values of nature. It is proposed to adopt a thorough and inclusive manner, from an applied and theoretical points of view at the same time. The course aims to train skilled professionals. The course will also provide a space for reflection, training and dissemination of the deepest reasons we have to commit ourselves to live and act in favor of nature. It will also discuss the implications that these reasons have towards personal and collective ethics, along the deep ecology approaches, to integrate them into the daily operation of organizations and institutions, whether public, private or from the third sector.
