Collaborating for Democratic Landscape Transformation
The landscape belongs to everyone. We should all have equal access to it and a voice in how it is used, valued and maintained. However, spatial planning education rarely includes considerations of democratic processes, participatory planning, community design and landscape stewardship. Furthermore, it does not fully prepare young practitioners to become leaders in promoting democratic landscape change and work effectively in partnership with communities.
The idea behind the LED (Landscape Education for Democracy) project, a partnership between 4 European landscape architecture faculties, two local NGOs and the LE:NOTRE Institute is to promote awareness and empower young design and planning professionals to become more active in shaping democratic change. Our goal is to fill a gap in design and planning education and give students the opportunity to confront themselves with pressing issues of landscape democracy, right to the landscape and participation.
The LED course 2022 includes 15 online course sessions available to students at any institution.
Our course will start again on March 30, 2022, at 15 pm CET.
What is this programme about and what is in it for you?
LED2LEAP stands for Landscape Education for Democracy: Towards Leadership, Empowerment, Agency and Partnership. Our programme is an endeavor to bring democratic principles into the range of disciplines that collaborate on landscape focused projects, providing the opportunity for this transformative approach to spread to all levels of society, resulting in more resilient, sustainable and democratic communities and landscapes.
Course Elements: LED2LEAP has three arms which reach out to engage communities involved in the project:
- Online Seminar: a semester-long international program for students and professionals that uses a digital platform to teach theories behind Landscape Democracy and hear from practitioners.
- Intensive Programme: A 10-day program where seminar participants travel to an international site to practice the values and apply the tools they’ve studied, by addressing a landscape democracy challenge.
- Living Labs An ongoing program that allows students to concurrently explore with the Participatory Action Research, Visioning and Co-Design approaches they’ve learned in the Online Seminar, and feedback their results.
