UdN International Summer School 2011 - ClimateCultures - The S

http://udn-hcu-hamburg-iss2011.blogspot.com/ Twenty international students from different disciplines will, for a period of two weeks from 15th-28th of August, live and work together in a reclaimed building, the „University of the Neighbourhoods” (UdN), in Wilhelmsburg. Together with international professionals of various backgrounds, they will explore the sustainability of their own daily life and that of their immediate surroundings. In addition to creating tangible plans and projects, the Summer School will be about playful experimentation and new and creative processes, that are making resource-efficient lifestyles desirable. UdN will be both living space and an object of study: The place allows an immediate and, for planners, unusually straightforward encounter with the surrounding environment. By working and living within the neighbourhood, we expect unfamiliar perspectives and surprising results for the perception of sustainability in general, and for the own lifestyle and for Wilhelmsburg in particular.
