A collective of educators and students engages in immersive art- and design-driven practice to reimagine higher-education and primary-school teaching and learning at, and beyond, the University of Teacher Education. 

Rooted in curiosity, care and attentiveness to diverse histories and voices, the collective offers open-ended impulses that anyone can adapt, question or extend across a growing constellation of educational hubs.

Educational Hubs are the living laboratories where our teacher-education students test and refine their art- and design-based learning projects.

They may be partner institutions—schools, museums, community centres—or self-designed pop-up installations that re-imagine “school” in public space. In every hub, students implement a prototype, co-reflect with the host team, iterate, and harvest insights that feed directly into their professional growth and our research.

Below you’ll find a list of all collaboration partners and the EduHubs we have created together:

EduHub: Kindergarten Tangentenweg Basel



Co-Creation:

A long-term partnership between Marvin Miles Ferrante and kindergarten teacher Akeepan Singrasa. Originating in the HERMES project, the team co-designed seminar modules in which students created and tested learning interventions with 4- to 8-year-olds. Since HERMES concluded, the collaboration has continued, expanding into new cycles of testing, reflection and co-creation.

How it works:
  • Each semester, student teams design small-scale prototypes—games, sensory stations, story-making corners—guided by respectful, culturally-responsive design principles.
  • Prototypes are trialled on-site with children and staff; rapid feedback loops lead to iterative improvement.
