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.

Principle: Connection & Influence
Connection is an elemental need shared by human and more‑than‑human beings. It unfolds across three interlaced spheres:

  1. Inward Connection — an embodied, reflexive relationship to one’s own stories, positionalities, and privileges.

  2. Collective Connection — solidarity‑driven, intersectional networks that reveal and transform power asymmetries.

  3. Planetary Connection — regenerative reciprocity with places, ecosystems, and knowledge traditions, especially those marginalized through colonial histories.

In Western industrial contexts these threads are often frayed by individualism and extractive logics. Teaching, learning, and designing therefore become acts of re‑connection that restore dignity, agency, and shared stewardship.

Approach: 

  • How can each practice leave the social, cultural, and ecological ground richer than it was found?
  • What do learning experiences look like when re‑connection, rather than content delivery, is the focal point?
  • How does facilitation feel when relationship, care, and co‑creation outweigh target‑ and output‑driven metrics?
  • How might we design physical and digital spaces that surface multiple perspectives, dismantle barriers, and invite more‑than‑human participation?
