Introduction: Ina Säumel, Raúl Herrera, Laura Barcia and Marcos Barra are engaged in (school) education for sustainability. The authors see their disciplinary background in an interdisciplinary landscape science that seeks to develop a comprehensive view of processes of change in the use of historically grown cultural landscapes. They report from the context of an empirical project that examines change processes of land use in Uruguay from this perspective (especially monocultural afforestation and agro-industrial feed cultivation on former grassland). Building on the concept of Citizen Science, they are developing a ‘Student Science’ approach, in the context of which students from rural schools are involved in the monitoring of these processes and thereby encouraged to critically deal with socio-political, economic and ecological changes in their environment.
