Education in art, architecture and design subjects are characterised by their distinctive pedagogies, usually delivered in immersive studio environments in which students work with problem-based learning (PBL) project briefs. As a result, the experience of international exchange students in art, architecture and design subjects is quite different from those in classroom- or lab-based disciplines. Studios can be immersive and holistic but they can also be intensive and exclusionary.
In this hybrid online/in-person workshop we will invite active participation from students who have participated in exchanges between art, architecture and design programmes in Sweden and South Africa. As Umeå School of Architecture and Cape Peninsula University of Technology embark on their second phase of exchange studies, we will critically reflect on their lived experiences and work collaboratively to propose a framework for sustainable and equitable exchanges at institutions in both countries.
Please note: the duration and end time of this session has been revised to reflect the limited availability of our participants. Zoom webinar link
