Our Collective Vision
In this course, we wish to create a space in which we can simultaneously visualise our ideal education system and live the critique that we offer. In this space we shall prioritise creating the time to learn and reflect; embracing creative and playful approaches to learning, to ensure that the experiential element of pedagogy remains. We strive to be; Collaborative! Creative! Connected! We will break out of the silos of age, discipline, alienation, and unlearn our roles as teachers and students, to create an egalitarian alternative. Refusing bureaucracy, we will adopt fluid and transparent practices.
Our Goals
We shall take action! We will work on specific case studies in our context, drawing connections between the university, the community, and nature. Allowing ourselves to work in different forms, from theater to games to skill sharing; as well as analysis and critique. The case studies we explore will be directed towards intervening to change things, with specific outcomes such as exhibitions, reports and direct action. These actions will offer resources of a process that might be adapted and replicated for future projects.
