Learning Objectives
After successful completion of the course, learners are expected to have developed….
- a holistic understanding of the EU’s overall vision and strategic goals and how those goals translate into directives and regulations
- knowledge of how those policies are made, who are the actors and how the decision-making processes are structured, what is the role of the European Parliament and how citizens and stakeholders can get involved in shaping those policies
- knowledge of how the EU’s environmental policy links to related but equally relevant policy fields, in particular agriculture and rural development, regional and urban policy and climate action.
- knowledge of how EU policy is related to and complementing with other international/European policy actors in the field of environment/landscape and sustainable development.
- a strong awareness of the political dimension of the planning profession and the development of competences for planners and designers to become active citizens who can not only promote and steer sustainable development on the ground in a democratic way but also help shaping the political framework of at a European scale.
- knowledge of European instruments and funding schemes that are at hand to support their work at local scale
- competence to link a local landscape context to the EU’s policy framework and to conceive sustainable solutions that make constructive use of EU instruments and funding schemes (such as Life+ and Interreg projects, Natural Capital Financing Facility, Green direct payments for farmers)it
Target audience
This Jean-Monnet seminar aims to inform and raise awareness for the goals and values of European Union. In particular, we want to discuss the EU's activities for the sustainable development of our everyday living environment: our landscapes.
Our target audience is both interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary: any student or interested citizen is warmly invited to join our discussion. We address in particular students from landscape architecture, landscape and urban planning, agronomy, regional development and sustainable development studies.
This seminar is hosted, organized and managed by Nürtingen-Geislingen University and a joint offer of the Faculty for Landscape Architecture, Environmental and Urban Planning and the E-Learning Unit of the Centre for University Didactics.
The online mode of this seminar allows any student to participate from any location. Academic recognition for credit-seeking students is provided at Nürtingen-Geislingen University within the framework of our HfWU-Modules. If you join in from a different institution you have the possibility to receive a certification for your seminar performance which equals 3 ECTS per semester. You need to seek individually for recognition at your home university, similar to any bilateral ERASMUS recognition processes.

Assignment
DIn order to monitor individual learning progress, the seminar participants will develop a concept map before and after the seminar. The concept map will ask for a conceptual representation of the question 'What is the relation of landscape, democracy and the European Union?'.
In addition, our seminar participants will reflect the different policy topics presented during the lectures against their own landscapes. This reflection will be documented and presented during an interim and a final seminar presentation.
The reflection will be accompanied by an intercultural discourse of the seminar participants. In this way, we will discuss similarities and differences with regard to the implementation of Euroan Union policies across Europe. Non-EU participants are encouraged to reflect the challenges and potentials of their landscapes agains EU goals, objectives and policy measures.
