Landscape ambassador seminary : how does it run?

During a first experimentation maid in France in 2004, we noticed that the students have been very motivated because they had to work for locals that had an actual demand. Locals have been enthusiastic and very proud to be the subject of interest of foreign students and from a scientific point of view, the result opened new perspectives for better integrate the landscape wishes in a development project. That is why we want to put the students in an active mode by focusing the seminary on a concrete question asked by a local partnership. The students work must contribute to give the locals concrete answers by applying the theories toughed during the lectures and by using the methods they will elaborate during the seminary.

At the end, our aim is to produce a methodological method well adapted to the various situations met in Europe. On the other hand, we want that it could be easily toughed and transmitted to the stakeholders and advisers that will have to manage the landscape in the future.
