Call | Arts of Change
How can we shape our future sustainably and socio-ecologically? What role do art, students and universities play in this context?
With the project "Arts of Change - Change of Arts: Students of art universities in Austria shape change" you have the opportunity to network with students from five Austrian art universities, to further educate yourself in terms of content, methodology and strategy through peer-to-peer coaching and subsequently to implement trans- and interdisciplinary projects. You will become part of a cross-university network of students who are jointly shaping the social-ecological transformation and working for sustainable development.
What awaits you:
- Peer-to-peer coaching on 2 weekends (Friday noon to Sunday noon) in the summer term 2020. Dates: 20. - 22.03.2020 and 15. - 17.05.2020.
- an online preparation and reflection phase for the coaching weekends (approx. 10 hours spread over the summer term 2020)
- participation in a 1-2 day conference of your choice on the topic of sustainability/the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN Agenda 2030
- the implementation of a small, first project together with the other students in the summer semester 2020
- Networking with other motivated and committed art students (up to 3 students per art university can participate in the project)
- an allowance of 100 euros for your commitment
- the opportunity to participate in the overall event of the project UniNEtZ - Universities and Sustainable Development Goals on 04. - 05.03.2020 at the University of Applied Arts Vienna.
- Important: There are no costs for you. Travel, accommodation and catering costs for the coaching sessions and the conference will be covered!
