Between 13 and 15 June we spend 3 days (2 nights) in the landuni Drosendorf in the Waldviertel (www.landuni.at) and work on site in the region questions and topics that have previously been discussed in the lecture hall in the form of workshops. On June 16, the final presentation of the entire module will take place at the Etagenfest in cooperation with the Viertelfestival.
