Learning outcomes
The course is based on the current practice of the workplace in the project teaching of human geography and cooperation with actors from the state administration, non-profit, business and civic sector in the region of the workplace. It is based on a combination of current theories and approaches in Anglo-American human geography applied to topics current in the domestic environment. The key competencies that are developed include grasping and contextualizing socially constructed spatiality, construction and critical assessment of relevant data sources and their interpretation within the processed semester projects related to the solution of current needs / topics of interest from the position of geographer / geographical applications.
