Planned learning activities and teaching methods
After a short theoretical introduction, the students examine in small groups a local development strategy for a territory. After a critical analysis of the existing and planned projects, they conduct a regional diagnostic study and draft operational recommendations for development strategy and programming.
A week of fieldwork (April 21st-26th, 2026) abroad aims to revisit a similar issue in order to compare and criticize the two strategies of territorial development.
