10. Education in landscape ecology

E2. Teaching and learning landscape ecology and planning in times of growing uncertainties. Challenges ahead during and after the COVID-19 pandemic

Veerle Van Eetvelde, Werner Rolf, Camila Gomes Sant Anna

This symposium aims to address experiences and reflections about teaching landscape ecology during the COVID-19 pandemics. Based in these experiences we want to look forward and discuss how these can help us to further develop teaching contents and methods in future. The symposium is welcoming contributions from colleagues in the different levels of education and degrees. What are the challenges and opportunities ahead? What are the appropriate ways of working together in a blended teaching format? Can the online version replace the real landscape? How to create new blended spaces and places for learning landscape ecology? What multiscale approaches in landscape ecology can be used in landscape planning and design projects in the current era?

We are looking for contributions with practical examples but also with critical and theoretical reflections about teaching landscape ecology and planning during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
