Course objectives
The aim of the subject is to define the regions of the world and to imagine selected regional topics and concepts on which it is possible to base teaching at primary school. The subject mainly focuses on current problems, which can have an impact both in the given region and on the other hand can also be reflected in our local environment. The aim of the course is also to present the main ideas of global development learning, which is very well applicable to regional geography and supports the geographical thinking of students, as it requires insights into topics from a global, regional and local scale.
