Reimagining Summer School - ETH Zurich
Description
Expanding Learning Labs
The Reimagining Summer School (Zurich, May 2025) explored co-designing spaces and environments for collective learning. Doctoral candidates gained hands-on experience in shaping spatial, organizational, and infrastructural forms for learning, while developing participatory tools and methods for collaboration with diverse stakeholders.
The programme combined research and pedagogy through colloquium sessions, experimental workshops, and multi-day collaborative exercises with ETH Master students, including LARP-based methods to envision socio-environmental futures. Engagements with local cultural organisations extended the learning beyond the university, fostering mutual learning, experimentation, and innovative approaches to participatory design in higher education.
