About the Course

Ready to imagine a radically different mobility future? This course is about the stories that we tell ourselves about why and how we move. By critically examining our current narratives, we help you think about mobility in a new way. Using systems dynamics modelling, we explore how a mobility innovation (of your choice) impacts our mobility system as a whole, for better or for worse. This course will invite you to reflect on our mainstream mobility narrative built on engineering and economics. But warning: you may end up never looking at mobility in the same way again! This online course is supported by the EIT Urban Mobility’s Competence Hub. EIT Urban Mobility is an initiative of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) that has been working since January 2019 to encourage positive changes in the way people move around cities in order to make them more sustainable and liveable places....

Very interesting and much more informative than I expected. I loved it so much that I actually kept learning and finished it early. :)

Very interesting and stimulating, which has made me reflect on the role of language and narratives in shaping our visions on mobility, transport policy and mobility innovation. The course has offered me various perspectives and tools to analyze and question the dominant narrative about mobility, based on engineering and economics, and to explore other alternative and meaningful narratives, such as mobility as unnecessary, as common, as a game or as interaction. The course has also invited me to apply what I have learned to a mobility innovation case of my choice, using the pattern language method and dynamic systems modeling. The course is well structured, with videos, readings, quizzes and practical activities that facilitate learning and participation. The course is taught by experts on the subject, who transmit their knowledge and passion for mobility in a clear and entertaining way. The course is free and available in English with Spanish subtitles.

The course expanded my understanding of different views and approaches to mobility. After completing the course I will follow up on the references from the course literature to dig deeper into the topic.

Alternative Mobility Narratives is a very inspiring course that helped me get further into the subject of how to plan and communicate mobility to my clients and to the public in general. I recommend it.

some of the content is great, but some is really poor audio, some is old, some is just a ted talk. I like the content and i like the instructors, but a little more high quality production would be nice at times.
