Appendix 1: CoLand Workshop in Tallinn
Appendix 1: CoLand project and workshop in Tallinn
CoLand project in which I was taking part as a tutor consisted of two parts: first on-line analysis workshops and lectures and intensive program off-line (meeting in different cities). In this appendix, I present few pictures from the intensive program (IP) which was organized by the Estonian University of Life Sciences in Tallinn within the CoLand project (mentioned on page 5). The workshop was held in the north part of Tallinn which until very recently was considered to be dangerous and forgotten. Nowadays it is a mix of use. The method of the teaching was organized by us so that each group of students had a different parts to be analyzed and developed within the concept. Each group had two or three mentors (tutors) and few expert tutors were walking around helping out (focusing on their expertise).

The interesting part was for us the moment when we have decided that each group will bring their idea and draw it on the big size map, at the same time discussing with other groups, so the overall plan for the area would make coherent and logical whole. That was also a lesson of discussion and compromise when needed (me drawing the map with students - picture on page 2).
CoLand was for me an especially important experience since it happened way before COVID-19, which helped me to adapt better to new situations. As it was a new approach and happened mainly online it also brought a lot of confusion reflected in some of the students’ comments. I was glad that my effort to make it as smooth and understandable for Estonian groups as possible has been appreciated:
Despite a few of those kinds of comments, I think it was a good learning process and I believe a very good lesson for the future. Results are collected here: WIKIPEDIA, BOOKLET

„Despite the fact that Coland’s part was a complete chaos for both teachers and students, Anna always tried her best to help and support with advice and strength. Gave very good advice in every consultation and kept the cold nerve well throughout the chaos.” (translated from Estonian).
