description The topic of spatial planning incorporates the teaching of central spatial, environmental and social problems, and promotes participation in democracy. The aim of this article is to analyse how Dutch and German geography students understand teaching about spatial planning. The students participated in seminars on spatial planning in their home countries and during an international exchange programme. They completed questionnaires as part of a pre-test-post-test-design. The data collection was complemented by a fishbowl discussion, video recorded lessons and an observation sheet. The case study identifies different challenges for incorporating educational aspects into courses on spatial planning. Furthermore, it reveals the potential of an international exchange for geography teacher training.
