ANALYSING THE LANDSCAPE

1. Initial information about and perception of the landscape.

How do you feel before studying this landscape?

2. Description of the landscape.

What is it like?

3. Analysis of the processes of evolution and change that occur in the landscape.

How does it evolve? Why? What are the consequences of this?

4. Conflict/consensus and empathy regarding the changes in the landscape.

What do the involved stakeholders think?

5. Outlook for the landscape.

How do we think it will evolve and how would we like it to evolve?

6. General conclusions and answer to the study question.

Methodology (II)

The role of the teachers

The project was developed in an experimental way at 10 education centres(2006-2007).

The Government and the Landscape Observatory offer training courses on landscape issues for teachers that update knowledge about landscape in the context of the ELC, as well as to provide specific guidelines for using the material in the “City, Territory, Landscape” project.

Presentations of the materials in the different territories and diffusion between the educative services (centres of pedagogical resources, fields of learning and schools of adults).

Participation of some teachers in the preparation of the materials (2006-2007).

Integrated understanding of the landscapes (all kind of landscapes) and the dynamics, while avoiding views of the landscape that are too partial and narrow.

Some important results

Based on the use of new information technologies and on the combined use of interdisciplinary and interpersonal work to make it more comprehensive, entertaining, interactive and cooperative.

A shining example of the transversal collaboration and cooperation that is so hard

to achieve.

In the 2008-2009 school year, the material was addressed to more than 450,000 students from 12 to 14 years of age across Catalonia.
