Education for integrated rural development: transformative learning in a complex and uncertain world.

摘要

This article explores how the increased pressure for expertise in integrated rural development (IRD) translates itself into the demand for educational services and the design of appropriate curricula on a European-wide basis. The article generates a number of stepping stones for the development of Education and Training for Integrated Rural Development (ETIRD) in tertiary education, based on a two-year inter-institutional curriculum development project carried out under the umbrella of the AFANet.
