Description of experiencesfrom the course on “Revitalization of urban post-mining areas” elaborated by the authors and run within the framework of the program: Education of specialists in post-mining sites management in the Polish-Czech border area. The program was implemented in 2013-2015 by the Silesian University of Technology and Technical University in Ostrava, with the financial support from the European Regional Development Fund. The main objective was to make specialists from different fields sensitive to spatial aspects of revitalization, to facilitate future interdisciplinary cooperation of persons who do not have architectural and urban planning background. The authors focused on exposing specific aspects of revitalization by means of particular case studies and simulations of the design
method in the form of workshops, with reference to the Design Thinking methodology. Role-playing elaborated by the authors was used in the generation of developmental scenarios, in which course participants assumed the point of view of different stakeholders of revitalization processes.
