Event description

We are pleased to invite you to an interactive workshop on the theme of designing spaces, including university classrooms, where complexity and wicked problems are dealt with collectively. In this workshop, we will answer together the following question: How can we improve spaces to make us feel more connected to each other?

Using design tools we will try to put together different ideas to improve how we engage in our learning process. We will discuss well-being, belonging, and student engagement in classes.
