| Course abstract | |
| The objective of the course is to shear and exchange knowledge on innovative and environmental friendly regeneration of degraded areas. Within the course innovative approach of phytoremediation will be presented as a tool for cleaning and revitalizing of soils of degraded areas in Latvia and Lithuania. Master’s students from different disciplines - landscape architecture and planning, environmental science, land management, tourism, geography, etc. will work on real problems related to the generation of degraded areas in cooperation with local municipalities in Latvia and Lithuania. | |
| Learning outcomes and their assessment | |
| •Enhanced knowledge on regeneration of degraded areas methods and approaches
•Improved skills in discussion making, work in multidisciplinary groups and presenting ideas and project proposals to the local municipalities (LV and LT) •Competences in problem solving and decision making regarding potential of degraded areas by analysing theoretical materials and examples from the practice, by discussing problems with local municipality planners and inhabitants. |
