ALterNATIVE LEARNING Spaces
This course aims at redefining the role of nature in the realm of media education, by returning to natural environments as a place of teaching and exploring its effect on students, as well as bringing aspects of nature into virtual environments. Participants are encouraged to engage in the learning process while directly experiencing the natural environment and drawing inspiration from it. The Goal is to cultivate novel collaborative artistic experimentation among participants from different institutions and localities within natural and virtual environmental contexts and to allow them to critically design and present small scale artworks in order to raise the environmental awareness to their audience, as well as to integrate sustainability approaches into their own creative practices, scientific work and everyday life.
