Abstract
The course is an elective interdisciplinary course for students in spatial planning education. It contains three modules covering three aspects of participation competence: knowledge of, skills in and, experiences with participation. Different study backgrounds have been reflected in their learning activities and through peer-to-peer learning. The course is theoretically grounded in the theory of multiple learning loops that not only includes the students, but the educators and institution as well. Students learn through reading and reflection of theoretical concepts, practical case studies and experiencing a real-life case, running a participation activity with children and/or youth. The students have to deliver a range of assignments reflecting the aimed learning outcome for each of the three linked modules. The feedback from students, based on course evaluations, and surveys before and after the course, indicates a significant learning curve, particularly in practical applications, compared to theoretical learning alone.
