Place, Activity and Human Development

Place is important for human health, well-being and development. The course focuses on general principles regulating our use of space and the way the relationship with place evolves dynamically over the lifespan. Special attention is given to the role of natural elements for restorative activity and formation of emotional bonds to specific places and to nature at large. The course consists of theoretical studies as well as practical exercises.

Information from the course leader

Welcome to the course Place, Activity and Human Development – MP0001

The course contains four blocks with Zoom meetings, each related to a specific theme. The dates for the meetings are: 1 to 3 of September, 6 to 8 of October, as well as 15 to 17 of November 2021 and 10 to 11 of January 2022.

In the first session (Block I) we will have a Workshop: This is how I would like to live. We build the home of our dreams in miniature and reflect on the choices we make. This building session takes place on Zoom the 3 of September. Please look on Canvas (block I) for special instructions and what material you can gather to the build mini-landscapes.

You have to register (Please contact Karoline Schua – administration - karoline.schua@slu.se) before you can get to Canvas where you find all course instructions (schedule and literature list) and assignments.

This is a course with many students. We want you to participate in all sessions. If you do not wish to participate in the course, please let Karolina Schua know as soon as possible!

You find the literature list on both the course page and on Canvas. Most literature you should be able to find at the web, but there are also a few copied and uploaded on Canvas.

I hope we will have an interesting semester together!
