Socially sustainable area development for community builders
This course introduces a working method for socially sustainable area development with a particular focus on the concept of care.
The course is based on experiences from the ORKA innovation project and the Destination Tynnered process, where researchers and real estate companies have collaborated to develop methods for promoting positive change in vulnerable areas. The goal is to strengthen your and your organization's competence and ability to work carefully with social sustainability in area development.
Target group
The course is primarily aimed at those who work practically with socially sustainable area development within real estate companies, but is also relevant for people in municipalities, associations, local networks, or other organizations who are interested in the area. You will learn about both theoretical and practical tools, as well as examples of how collaboration and mobilization of residents and stakeholders can contribute to sustainable and inclusive residential areas.
Practical
The course consists of 11 modules. Each module begins with a short video presentation.
There is a methodology book for the course that you can download. The methodology book contains examples of how a real estate company has worked with the issues presented in the course. The methodology book also contains theoretical insights into the content presented in the 11 modules.
Each module includes exercises, discussion questions, and supplementary material. Working through each module takes between 30 minutes and a couple of hours, depending on how much time you want to spend on the exercises and discussion questions. You can choose to just watch the presentation and then work on the exercises. You can also choose to download the methodology book to gain a deeper understanding of the content presented in the 11 modules.
You will get the most out of the course by taking it together with a few colleagues. This will allow you to do the exercises together and use the course as an opportunity to develop your organization's work with socially sustainable area development. If you do not have this opportunity, you can use the exercises and discussion questions to reflect on your own.
