Course Overview

Our planet is currently facing several threats that endanger all biodiversity and even the Earth structure as we know it. It is important to quickly change the way we approach the various problems to enable the creation of new solutions based on the Eco and not on the Ego, i.e. focused on the ecosystems, in which we are included, and not exclusively on the benefits for human beings. This metamorphosis of mentalities is only possible when we understand the world around us as a biological communication network between beings from different Kingdoms, who cooperate to maintain the environment that supports them. The millenary relationships between fungi and plants, which evolved together in harmony, and formed the precious soil that supports and sustains them, is a theme rarely addressed in the various cycles of studies, but which will certainly cause a profound change in the way we relate to each other and with every other species on the planet.
