The Seminar aims to investigate the issue of the re-appropriation and the recovery of river landscapes, often compromised and degraded as a result of human or natural changes, starting from the case of the Campania region, which sets out as a laboratory where it is possible to test the combination of appropriate methods and technics to actively plan river landscapes.

In this framework, adopting a landscape restoration approach might suggest useful hints to return landscapes to their natural conditions, counting on resilience, if specific conditions of sites make it possible. At the same time, the conference highlights the importance of enhancing local communities’ resources in order to reinterpret and redefine landscapes.

The seminar is divided into two parts, intertwining in three study days:
- paper presentations, in which to discuss international interesting cases;
- in situ activities, in which to get in touch with territories (places and relevant actors) and to exchange ideas and experiences.
Seminar activities will be structured according to the main branches of the UNISCAPE network: didactics, researches, landscape projects, landscape observatories.
The official language of the Seminar is English (no translation facilities provided).

Two design workshops will be organized, in which to creatively interact starting from the observation of concrete cases: the Sarno plain; the Irno valley.
