Goals of the WAVE Online Course
- In the light of the sensitive nature of water areas and their relevance to society, economy and the environment it is vital that planners and designers learn how to manage these territories in a sustainable way. WAVE Course participants will develop a profound understanding of the specific character of wate areas. They will learn which driving forces are influencing the water landscape system and which impact types are most relevant for planning and design responses. This includes the global and European dimension since water areas are receiving increased attention worldwide.
- Learning in the WAVE programme is both theoratical and practical. The WAVE online course presents the theoretical and methodical foundations for sustainable planning and design of water areas. In parallel, participants engage in the WAVE Living Labs and learn how to involve local community into rhis learning process.
- The WAVE programm bridges analysis, strategy building and design by innovative ICT approaches, also known as Geodesign.
- Different approaches to strategy building, planning and design in the context of water landscapes will be introduced in the last phase of the course. On this basis, the course participants will be able to draft a strategy and a master plan for a water area taking economic, ecological and social aspects and current policies into account.
- In addition to the subject specific knowledge and methods the WAVE course further aims to foster transversal skills at various levels. This includes above all the following: virtual team work and creative application of ICT tools for international cooperation, team building and democratic leadership, analytical thinking, intercultural communication and creativity.
- The WAVE course wants to equip a future generation of planners and designers with relevant knowledge, methods and skills in order to transform our societies for sustainability.
Course Content
The online module consists of twelve 90-minute sessions of lectures, reading materials, collaborative group work and other diverse active and passive learning tools.
The thematic elements of the course are designed to give students core knowledge for developing integrated planning and design approaches for coastal landscapes.
- Understanding Coastal Landscapes
- Evaluation and Assessment for Coastal Landscapes

Please also visit our reading list for further information.
Course Schedule: Online and On Site
- Online lectures will take place from 12.03. – 28.05.2021, with weekly sessions on Fridays from 15 00 – 16 30 pm CET.

Case Study Assignment
- As the participants advance through the three course phases they will work in parallel on a study on a coastal landscape of their own choice.
- They can conduct this study individually or in local teams. The team areas are accessible via the CO-LAND Working Groups page.
- The case studies will be documented with a case study template which is scaffolding this process.
- All along this process the individuals or local groups will collaborate with an international team. The interaction will consist of peer review, especially during phases 1 and 2, joint presentations and a joint planning and design process during phase 3.
- At the end of the seminar, the international teams will also reflect on their collaboration process and document their findings.
- In addition, there is a reading list for each session, participants are asked to study relevant materials in parallel to the course activities and add their theory reflections to the case study.
