 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.

This feed gathers interdisciplinary design methods that have already been trialled in university seminars, public workshops, and real-world classrooms; only those that show genuine relational impact make it here.

Each entry offers an A5 print-and-cut card (more on the way) and a brief description that names both its flourishing potential for people, places, and more-than-human ecologies, and the kinds of harm it could cause if applied uncritically.

As you explore, keep in mind that every method is context-sensitive: adapt, remix, or even reverse the steps to fit your own rhythm, culture, and environmental realities. Creators and sources are credited and linked so the knowledge loop stays open and accountable.

Step inside, attend to the human and non-human voices at play, and let these practices evolve through the hands that reshape them.
Method: Cultural Probes for Learners
Overview:

1. Inquiry Prompt (example; replaceable):
  • “How might engaging all seven senses transform the ways we learn and teach?”

2. Community Outreach:
  • Students share the prompt via Signal with at least ten people—family, friends or classmates—to invite varied contributions.

3. Gathering Multimodal Responses:
  • Text reflections
  • Hand-drawn sketches (photographed)
  • Photographs or curated images

4. Organizing Submission:
  • Collect all digital files by the deadline (e.g., Monday, 18:00) and assemble them into one PDF.

5. Reflective Seminar:
  • In the following class, students showcase selected probes, identify themes or surprises, and discuss how these insights can inform inclusive course design.
