Students will work on a course project characterised by having strong ties with the local territory and responding to real needs, interacting with key stakeholders (researchers, farmers, policy makers, etc.) undertaking practical activities, and challenging one another to question their assumptions as they reflect on their experiences. The training will be oriented to create a set of soft skills and technical competencies in future operators of Sustainable Agriculture.
Students will work in a multi-disciplinary and inter-sectoral way through the direct interaction with the main active stakeholder, who, together with them, will identify some local initiatives and the related actors, on which each working group will design its final project. The course projects will be implemented through several phases-connecting, planning, acting and observing, restitution and sharing- based on observation, dialogue and reflection, leading the students to experience an action-based and oriented learning.
