Abstract

Crises and uncertainties characterise the current life space of future professionals while there is a widening gap between academia and the territorial governance system and society. The teaching of urban planning is questioning itself how to prepare university students for these challenges, taking advantage of this situation to propose adaptive pedagogical methods that emphasise constructive nuances in
a creative and participatory way. The experience of the Covadonga Urban Lab (2019-2020), Erasmus +, during the time of the Covid 19 pandemic, multiplied the difficulties and challenges of a process designed by specific objectives and teaching methodologies that included the participation of local actors and various universities. The results showed that open education processes, as well as participatory processes, make it possible to address the desirability of revising not only the academic system, but in parallel, the current model of governance of the territory.
