Online Seminar 2024

The seminar is a combination of lectures (theoretical, case study and project presentation) and interactive exercises that introduce the conceptual frameworks of Agroecological Urbanism, Regional Agroecological Food Systems, Multi-level governance, Food justice, and democracy. The transdisciplinary approach is supported by Participatory Action Learning Research and Action Learning Research (PALAR) in connection with a series of existing Living Labs on food resilience.

International participants from different backgrounds and levels of education and professional expertise (from planning disciplines, agronomy, environmental sciences, and related subjects) are invited to participate in 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.

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.

The online seminar structured in 10 sessions (with additional presentations for assignment students) will take place in the first half of spring of 2024, running from February 29th until June 13th, 2024, Thursdays from 17.00 until 18.30 CET on Zoom.
