In this Curricular Unit (CU) students will work the concepts of Environmental Citizenship, Public Participation in Environmental Decision and Education for the Sustainable Development. Concepts, Implementation and Action will be worked based on Bibliographic Research on Referential Data Bases.
This CU will enable the students to acquire scientific and technical skills to undertake Research into Environmental Citizenship and Participation and to write a Scientific Project (MSc Dissertation Project).
The Programmatic content revises the essentials concepts in Environmental Citizenship and Participation along with the analysis of case studies, projects and published research. Students work the research methodologies in order to conceptualize and structure a research project aiming to elaborate, present and discuss a research project (MSc Dissertation Project).
