This page presents cases where the contributors have actively participated (on different levels and roles). The examples can be clases in traditional institutions, and workshops or other types of non-institutional activities. The list will be organized by date.
This category is devised for classes, modules, workshops or other types of activities organized in the framework of a traditional academic programme within an institution. It can be assignments in art, architecture or design, as well as in other disciplinary fields, where alternative pedagogical methods were applied.
