 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.

Method: Mundane Method


Overview:

This exercise invites participants to treat everyday routines as generative design methods, honouring diverse contexts and lived experiences.

  1. Select & Observe:
    Choose a routine activity—such as commuting or cleaning—and spend two minutes silently observing its key actions and decisions.

  2. Visual Sketch:
    On paper or digitally, draw a simple flowchart or storyboard that captures the main phases and interactions of the chosen routine.

  3. Step Definition: 
    List 4–6 clear steps needed to carry out the activity, using neutral, accessible language so anyone—regardless of background—can follow.

  4. Method Mapping: 
    Describe how this routine could function as a design tool (e.g., “Commuting” might teach time management and spatial awareness; “Dancing” could model iterative feedback loops).

  5. Outcome Reflection:
    Note one insight or skill this method surfaces—such as improving empathy by understanding others’ daily patterns—and consider how it might inform inclusive teaching strategies.

Examples: Commuting, Dancing, Cleaning, Cycling ...

Sensitivity Reminder: Daily practices differ widely across cultures, abilities, and circumstances. Honour each person’s context and avoid assuming any single routine represents everyone’s experience.
