Course content
This course is the credited version of the "BrOOC" "Brussel decoded". "BrOOC"stands for Brussels Open Online Course. The objective of this course is to deconstruct preconceived ideas about Brussels for you to discover this city-region with its multiple historical, geographical, sociological, political, administrative and urban planning-related facets.
Objectives (and/or specific learning outcomes)
At the end of this course, the student will be able to take a contextualised look at the various phenomena and issues affecting the Brussels-Capital Region and its various actors.
Teaching methods and learning activities
The "Brussels Reading the City" course is largely designed for self-study (MOOC style). The course is mainly based on online content, partly interactive, from the Brussels Open Online Course (BrOOC), which was jointly developed by the ULB and the VUB under the direction of Serge Jaumain, Benjamin Wayens and Joost Vaesen. BrOOC is complemented by walking/on field seminars.
