BESE means built environment – sustainability – education. Under umbrella of these key-words we propose three parallel summer schools for students who are interested in sustainability in three aspects – urban planning, tourism and nature conservation.
BESE Summer Schools are dedicated for bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral students of landscape and spatial development who do not study in Poland.
Spatial Planning & Urban Studies – will focus mainly on the built environment of the city of Krakow – however, not only as a place whose historic part has been listed as the UNESCO world heritage site, but also as a space for interesting processes and transformations occurring outside the city center.
APPLICATION
Tourism vs Nature Conservation in National Parks – will focus on the ongoing conflicts between tourism and nature protection in five national parks (four mountain parks and one highland park).
APPLICATION
The Diversity of the Region as an Impulse for Tourism Development – will focus on presenting the enormous diversity of Kraków region and its surroundings as complex and diverse tourism product. The aim of this BESE module is to show the complexity, challenges, opportunities and threats regarding the development of tourism in the city and the region.
APPLICATION
Last–day workshop. The final day of the programme will consist of a common workshop where participants of the three schools will convene together to share and discuss their experiences and conclusions, and build a common agenda for sustainable landscape in all environments of the Lesser Poland – built, natural and diverse. “BESE – base for sustainable landscape”.
