Video najava za Aqua MOOC - Participatory Engagement with Water
Opći podaci o tečaju
In light of the Anthropocene, the present geological age in which humankind is altering the whole Earth system with devastating effects on ecosystems, plants, the elements, as well as human and other animals, we are building a knowledge base together with students as citizen scientists using new and novel methodologies such as water literacy, participatory engagement and nature-based solutions. Actively engaging with, befriending and listening deeply to water as a „wise knowing self“ (Bird Rose 2007) in dialogue with its neighbours is our staring point for a better understanding of water as „a complex adaptive stream of intra, inter and extra-relationships“ and championing of „waters‘ multi-dimensional capacity and agency for the purpose of advancing more sustainable biosocial water futures within a geosocial matrix“ (Hawke and Palsson 2017:232). Students are invited to share photos, short films and audio recordings together with their „water story“ on this learning platform.
