ABSTRACT
The workshop introduces challenge-based learning as a teaching methodology for addressing real-world, complex problems. Through practical examples and collaborative activities, participants will explore how to turn concrete challenges into opportunities for active learning, critical thinking, and student empowerment.
Ilaria Pertot, Professor of Plant Pathology at the University of Trento and Director of C3A, focuses on sustainable agriculture, pesticide reduction, and climate adaptation, promoting Challenge-Based Learning to engage students, researchers, and stakeholders in real-world agro-food sustainability challenges.
Stefano Turrini works with the University of Trento (DISI and SOI) and the ECIU alliance to link universities and businesses. His research focuses on challenge-based learning (CBL), engaging students, faculty, and companies in real-world problems through interdisciplinary and international projects to find practical solutions.
