African roads to sustainable agroecology summer school – hot topics and targeted solutions

Our goal is that AfriSASS participants (students, practionners, lecturers):
• Enhance their knowledge of opportunities and challenges in agroecology within sub-Saharan Africa, particularly with respect to transformative change, and
• Can apply a transdisciplinary approach to societal problem solving, particularly in the context of agriculture
Specific objectives:
• Transfer knowledge with respect to the FAO’s 10 principles of agroecology, and their interactions
• Teach the transdisciplinary learning approach to societal problem solving
• Enhance participants’ cognitive (knowledge), affective (attitudes), and psychomotor (skills) domains
• Evaluate the quality of the school with participants and lecturers.
• Define options for continuation of the school in future years.
