After successful completion of the course, students are able to design a project that is oriented towards learning creatively and on their own responsibility and to implement it in a team-oriented manner.

Due to the directly practice-based orientation of the course, learning results are achieved through both "headwork" and "manual work" and, in the tradition of "learning by doing", cognitive, social and emotional learning are brought together. Through networking, transdisciplinary thinking and action, a variety of positive learning experiences, both individual and collective, should be possible. The open process design should motivate students to actively and self-determinedly acquire possibilities of behaviour and action (also beyond the course framework).

The course is part of the FFG-funded project "BiB-Lab / Innovation Lab for Educational Spaces in Motion": www.bib-lab.at
In the course of the three-year research project, innovative educational spaces for learning in and out of school are being developed and exemplarily tested in the area of the Per-Albin-Hansson-Siedlung in the course of participation and networking processes.

This semester there are two different programme focuses:

1. Blended learning – joint, experimental LVA format with Master's students from the University of Teacher Education Styria.
> Cooperative work in concrete project situations that enable practice-oriented and independent learning
> Process design by means of artistic thinking and acting in order to find creative and "other" approaches (even for seemingly complex problems)
> Bringing together brainwork and manual work, cognitive and emotional learning, in order to initiate socially relevant socio-spatial innovations through diverse (including intercultural) learning experiences
> Weaving of formal and informal structures to form growing networks and a solidary cooperation in order to establish or stabilise socially integrative (informal) educational landscapes

2. Bus-lab-holiday programme – extracurricular activities with children and young people during the summer holidays.
> 4 LVA dates during the semester (development of workshop offers) + 10-day LVA block during the summer holidays
> Cooperative work in concrete project situations that enable practice-oriented and independent learning
> Process design by means of artistic thinking and acting in order to find creative and "other" approaches (even for seemingly complex problems)
> Bringing together brainwork and manual work, cognitive and emotional learning, in order to initiate socially relevant socio-spatial innovations through diverse (including intercultural) learning experiences
> Weaving of formal and informal structures to form growing networks and a solidary cooperation in order to establish or stabilise socially integrative (informal) educational landscapes

> workshop conception and implementation
> action-oriented project work in a team
> recherche and discussion of best practice
> preparation of project reports

Regular participation in the LVA dates; development and implementation of a creative project activity for children/young people; preparation of a project report (logbook, storyboard, picture story or similar) in which the course of the project and the associated individual and collective learning experiences are documented in text and pictures in a process-adequate manner.

Registration only by TISS-group-registration!

No special previous knowledge is required, but a particular interest in creatively preparing architecture-specific topics and content for workshops with children and young people (aged approx. 10-14 years) and conveying them with joy and commitment is a prerequisite.
