The course consists of virtual classroom sessions with peers/experts (like Kathrin Bohn, Joe Nasr, Matt Potteiger, Sebastian Marot, Michiel Dehaene, Marian Simon, Damien Conaré and others), self-study and teamwork on case studies.
International participants from different background and level of education and professional expertise (from planning disciplines, agronomy, environmental sciences, and related subjects) are invited to participate to this transdisciplinary and participatory learning activity that supports a broader understanding of the contemporary challenges and existing strategies of approaching sustainable food systems in the context of spatial planning. The transdisciplinary approach is supported by the Participatory Action Learning Research and Action Learning Research (PALAR) in connection with a series of existing Living Labs on food resilience.
There will be two possible forms of participation: only attending the lectures and discussions or working on the assignment (5 ECTS). The assignment participants will work in small teams that focus on Living Labs or projects. They will benefit from additional tutoring/ feedback sessions and present their results in intermediary sessions.
