The activitites of this seminar are strongly linked to the processes of the local LED2LEAP Living Labs.

A LED2LEAP Living Lab can happen anywhere. What you need is a group of people interested in advancing democratic landscape transformations within a local community. Your then need to find a community/NGO or local group to work with, and identify a landscape democracy challenge you want to tackle and impact through your work.

During the seminar, we will accompany you with theory reflection, methodical guidance, case studies and transnational reflection sessions.

Our transnational reflection sessions give you the opportunity to discuss the interim results of your LED2LEAP Living Lab Process:
