Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Have highly specialised knowledge of the science of artisanal mariculture and villageVillage Farming.
• To be able to mobilise, articulate and make the most of the knowledge and skills acquired in order to contribute to the management and implementation of a large-scale development project linked to artisanal mariculture and village farming.
• Be capable of organising and carrying out research, development or innovation work to understand a new issue relating to small-scale mariculture and village farming.
• To be able to communicate clearly, in a structured and well-argued manner, orally and in writing, to an informed or uninformed public, the principles underlying Artisanal Mariculture and Village Farming.
• Be able to think critically about the impact of the discipline and the implications of the projects to which they will contribute.
• To be aware of the biological, agronomic, social and economic problems inherent in these maricultures and to be able to react if these problems arise in the countries/regions where the methods are transposed.

Learning Outcomes of UE

Know how to identify the regulatory framework for interventions in village farming: operating authorizations, environmental authorizations, and commercial risks (theft, parallel sales, etc.); Know the specific financial mechanisms open to models with a positive social and environmental impact (grants) and their issues (accountability, advantages, disadvantages); Understand the issues of technical supervision and training (human resources)  

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

Theoretical courses can be viewed remotely. For this, video capsules are produced by the teachers for all theoretical courses and integrated into a flipped classroom system also offering spaces dedicated to exercises and tests. Students will thus have the opportunity to view these courses from Madagascar or abroad. Malagasy teachers and Belgian teachers traveling to Madagascar will be able to supplement these videos with face-to-face theoretical courses, especially in order to discuss what was covered remotely.

Prior Experience

The course will accept candidates with a Master's or Engineering degree. However, the Teaching Committee may select a few candidates who do not have the required diplomas but demonstrate significant experience in the field of artisanal mariculture and have a higher education diploma in science (bachelor's degree minimum).
