Everyone has the right to access, belong to and participate in decisions about the landscape of their communities. Design and planning professionals play a vital role in making cities sustainable and promote greater environmental justice, yet they often see participation as an obstacle to their creativity or are unaware of its benefits. To change these perceptions, students and young professionals should be offered opportunities to learn about their agency in shaping democratic, supportive communities and practice participation.
The Erasmus+ Landscape Education for Democracy (LED\/LEAD2LEAP) projects aim at educating design and planning students about the theories, methods, and practices of landscape democracy. Students from many institutions can access the course online. In 2016, a series of online seminars started which until 2021 included around 300 students worldwide. They collaborate on a strategic vision for resolving a landscape democracy challenge within their local communities.
The performance of the seminar to reach its goals and ambitions was tested through pre and post engagement surveys of both teachers and students. The participatory action research includes the transformative action of teachers, students and the agents in the community on a personal, professional and systemic\/political level. Results revealed that while the students valued the opportunity to learn about participation and landscape democracy in a multidisciplinary and cross-cultural context, the discontinuous commitment of some group members and the operationalizion of landscape democracy proved challenging. Nonetheless, they called for more opportunities within their university\u2019s curricula to refine their social agency skills. They also expressed doubts that they would be able to pursue this type of work in private practice. The paper ends with lessons for educators interested in democratic design and planning education.<\/p>\n
