Therefore the students will acquire the ability to illustrate the main natural and human processes that contribute to the formation of territories and landscapes and will be able to highlight their mutual relations. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES Attendance and participation in the proposed training activities and individual study will enable the student to understand the main spatial processes taking place at the Italian and European scale; understand the complex relationships between the components of Italian and European landscapes; critically analyse some problems of geography of Italy and Europe; critically analysing contemporary problems with a transcalar approach, from the local to the global; planning didactic activities related to the problems of geography of Italy and Europe studied. TEACHING METHODS The teaching activities will be organised in order to encourage active learning on the part of the students; for this reason, moments of frontal and laboratory teaching will be alternated. The frontal lessons will be aimed at providing the basic tools to understand the main territorial processes that take place at the Italian and European scale and the complex relationships that are established between their landscape configurations. The laboratory-type teaching activities will be based on problem-based methodologies and will be aimed at stimulating the critical and transcalar analysis of some problems of geography of Italy and Europe. Specific workshop activities will be devoted to the discussion of the design of teaching activities related to the geography problems of Italy and Europe studied. For students with DSA certifications or specific disabilities, compensatory or dispensatory measures are ensured, while taking care of the acquisition of the skills and knowledge required for teaching.
