Programme
The Remix Culture programme connects recent theoretical, aesthetic and technical insights with the professional practices of contemporary art and media educators. The summer course is didactically designed as a ‘learning seed’: It challenges participants to develop new teaching materials during the course. These materials grow out of the theory and examples of good practice that are presented and discussed. The summer course fosters the exchange of knowledge and experiences between the various international communities of practice that the participants represent.
Course goals
Participants learn to:
• investigate and discuss ‘remixing’ developments in contemporary arts, media studies and social studies and apply them in new teaching materials;
• analyse and select relevant contemporary art and media works for educational use;
• apply forms of creative ‘easyware’ information technologies to their teaching practice;
• design interdisciplinary education material in cooperation with peers from other (arts)disciplines;
• build a professional network with international peers active in different forms of art and media education.
Study load and credits
Remix Culture offers a varied and in depth program 56 hours. Successful summer school participants receive a certificate (2 EC). Participants who take part in the subsequent research project (in which they report upon the implementation process of their self designed lessons) receive an extra certificate (1 EC).
