Joint WG3 Seminar: Gaps, Needs and Wishes of Using Archival Materials in Teaching

WG3 organised a joint online seminar to synthesise findings from the four Regional Workshops held between January and March 2026. During the seminar, Regional Workshop organisers reported their specific working methods and results; participants then took part in two interactive activities on the Miro platform to summarise key findings and define what constitutes “archival materials” in the context of landscape architecture education. 

Two short surveys were conducted during the seminar to understand the current state of, and interest in, involving archives in teaching. The results indicated a clear demand for improving archival literacy among teachers and researchers, as well as an increased interest in integrating archival materials into teaching practice. As no students participated in the joint seminar, their perspectives were not represented in the survey results and will be sought through other means.
