Methodology

Learning in this session relies on an interactive, evidence-based pedagogical approach that merges expert technical delivery with empirical regional case data and participant-driven policy exercises.

Core Instructional Methods

• Interactive Lecture Presentation: Multimedia delivery incorporating spatial maps, comparative diagrams, and ecological data visualizers.

• Case Study Analysis: Comparative review of Mediterranean adaptation repositories (ADRIadapt/MedAdapt) and municipal interventions in Croatia (Pula rain gardens, Split school adaptation projects).

• Policy & Typology Mapping Exercise: A practical group exercise where participants match specific coastal vulnerability profiles to appropriate NbS interventions and setback calculations.

• Q&A & Discussion: Moderated discussion on overcoming political, financial, and legal resistance to coastal setback implementation.
