AGROECOLOGY 26 intends to introduce students to the complex and multifaceted world of agroecology through a transdisciplinary approach, enabling them to acquire basic knowledge and awareness of the importance of the interactions between agro-environmental and socio-economic components as the foundation of the dynamics of transformation of agro-food systems towards true sustainability, and to understand how and why the agro-ecological approach can provide concrete solutions to the great challenges of our time.

This Seasonal School will use highly interactive teaching methodologies focused on Active Learning. Frontal teaching, deliberately reduced and set up on an interactive seminar basis, will aim to frame the theoretical background of the topics progressively introduced and provide participants with basic skills that will allow them to make the most of the subsequent moments of interaction within the group, with the teachers, and with the farmer. Each morning or afternoon session, moments of frontal teaching and interactive teaching will alternate, in order to create a positive group dynamic and maximise stimulation and participation for both students and teachers, while minimising moments of fatigue.
