Teaching and exam
The pedagogical approach of this summer school is an action-reflection theory, which means that we are always testing learning and theory through practical exercises. The teaching will be workshop based with a mix of short theoretical lectures, presentations of – and training in – tools, and reflection on the learning.
In addition, you will work with and be inspired by other participants and you will get the opportunity to work on your own projects too.
