Day 3 morning: preparing the work in groups

After a lecture about how to drive enquiries or interviews dealing with the landscape presented by Y. Michelin, each group of nationality and disciplines exposed his own way of working. What they are interested in. Which kinf of documents they use. Which kind of products they create... The idea was to give everybody an idea of how the others were working and why they were asking for documents, information or data. The blindlandscape excercise, yesterday, was a good basis to start this reflexion

Then Teresa explained how she had conceived the topics and the groups.
group 1  focuses on landscape character
group 2 on land use systems
group 3 recreation and huntings (demands, potentialities and pressures)
group 4 new rurals and week end residents
group 5 landscape pattern and processes

in each group, one portuguese student will play the role of translater and one portuguese Landscape ambassador will help for the fonctionment of the group. One professor is more dedicated to the management of each group (Eva for the 1st, Yves for the 2nd, Anne Katrin for the 3rd, Roland for the 4 th, Janez and his colleagues from Evora university for the 5th)
 discussion around th composition of the groups
We paid attention to mix the nationalities, the disciplines  and at the end the groups have been constituted without any trouble

Now (2.00 pm) it is time to start the work
