Learning objectives

After successful completion of this module participants will be able to:

  • solve complex environmental problems by integrating the content of the preceding modules;
  • make decisions on the basis of a limited amount of information;
  • work in a team to solve complex environmental problems.


Syllabus

The group-work consists of a case study in which the techniques and knowledge obtained in the preceding modules are integrated. The group-work is located in the fictitious country Ecoland. Ecoland faces enormous environmental problems, which have to be addressed by the participants in their role as consultant or EPA member. During the group-work participants have discussion meetings, give presentations and write a report. An important activity is to carry out an Environmental impact assessment.


Didactics

The group-work is carried out as a role-play, in which participants are either belonging to a consultancy or to a local EPA. The participants have group discussions and individual tasks, give progress and final presentations and write a final report. The exercise in Environmental impact assessment is supported by introductory lectures.
