Collaborative design of educational and urban spaces 

December 4, 2023, 14h00-17h00

Room 1, CES | Alta

Overview
 

The event is the perfect opportunity to share and debate international experiences about possible connections between research in social sciences, humanities and arts and school and educational contexts. The objective is to expand the scope of research possibilities, from a city science perspective. To achieve this, we start from partnerships and direct collaborations between researchers from academic contexts and educational contexts, including the sharing of concrete experiences of collaborative intervention in educational spaces and public spaces in the city of Coimbra.

This workshop thus allows us to create a place for dialogue with various actors linked to education and research: researchers, teachers, school directors, students, families, community activists. Specifically, expand the production of knowledge about new formats for organizing educational space and public space in cities, starting from a concrete experience, with EB1 Quinta das Flores (Agrupamento de Escolas Coimbra Sul). In this initiative, researchers, teachers and students collaborated to create new proposals for the design of school spaces. We will also count on the collaboration of Zás Coletivo, a group of young architects and architecture students, who will bring their experience of intervention in public spaces in the city of Coimbra.

This is the 4th workshop organised by CC.EDU | Working Group on Citizen Science and Education under the Series 'Building Educational Communities'
