Block Seminars (BS)

The Block Seminars will be held alternating at Hawassa University (HU) and University of Hohenheim (UHOH) and once in Peru at the SDG Graduate School trAndes. Various teaching methods will be employed in the seminars: besides lectures, modeling courses and excursions will enrich the seminars.

A highlight of each block seminar is the organization of a field trip where the scholars have the opportunity to visit local projects and practice what has been learnt during the specific block seminar.
