Collaborative Workshops & LARP-Based Methods

As part of the Reimagining Summer School, doctoral candidates participated in Nature-Culture Spaces workshops, discussing concrete examples of alternative learning and living environments, including Floating University (Berlin), De Ceuvel (Amsterdam), and Stadionbrache (Zurich). Q&A sessions encouraged reflection on how these real-world experiments link design, pedagogy, and socio-environmental transformation.

Building on these insights, participants engaged in a collaborative exercises alongside ETH Master students, using LARP-based (live action role play) methods to explore socio-environmental futures. Scenarios incorporated not only human but also more-than-human actors, such as ecosystems, animals, and technological systems, fostering collective imagination, iterative problem-solving, and interdisciplinary dialogue.
