The multidimensional crisis, especially in countries like Greece, demands the new development approaches that respond to actual needs and describe the way for the creative use of the particular characteristics of the natural and socio-economic resources. The need for such planning approaches becomes more intense in mountainous areas, which remained - to a large extent - outside from central development strategies. Integrated approach, interdisciplinarity and education can be key features of these new approaches. In this context, the postgraduate students of the MSc “Environment and Development of Mountainous Areas” held by the National Technical University of Athens conduct development surveys for different regions in Greece using the methodology of Worthliving Integrated Development. During the academic year of 2014-2015, an interdisciplinary workgroup of students conducted a development survey for the mountainous municipality of Souli. This paper presents the methodological steps followed as well as the results for the region of Souli.
