Welcome to this collaborative workshop briefing design challenge! Today, you'll be working with fellow design educators from different international institutions to co-create a one-day student workshop. This setup is intentionally designed to spark connections between design programs throughout Europe. By bringing together your diverse teaching experiences and perspectives, you'll not only design a workshop that works across different educational contexts but also create international relationships. You have about 6 hours to prepare tomorrow's 6-hour student workshop, which will culminate in an exhibition.

The real magic of what we’re trying to do here lies in the process - as you share ideas and approaches, you'll get to know each other and hopefully discover opportunities for future collaborations and student and teaching exchanges.

Workshop checklist

Here’s a list of the main things to keep in mind while designing your student workshop:

• [ ] The workshop is relevant for both LUCA’s students as for the students of the international colleagues (just in case we might find the opportunity to do the very same workshop together at your institution somewhere in the future)
• [ ] The workshop is doable in one day (9:30 > 15:30 with a lunch break)
• [ ] The results can be presented in an expo starting at 16:00
• [ ] The workshop is designed in such way, that it allows the lecturers to leave the students unattended for one hour between 11:00 and 12:00 (for the BIP brainstorm)
• [ ] If you want students to make use of the workshops (werkplaatsen), it is very important to discuss this with the workshop coordinators to see what is or what is not possible (machines might be fully booked already).
• [ ] You create a written briefing together (can be concise) that the LUCA colleagues can upload on the Toledo learning platform for the students to access.

Workshop Design Guide

Here’s a guide that can help you through the process of designing a workshop format and design brief. This guide is just a suggestion of how you might work, feel free to totally ignore it :).

Getting to Know Each Other

Start by sharing stories! Take some time to introduce yourselves and your teaching worlds. You might want to talk about:

• What your study program is like
• The kinds of students you work with
• Your favorite teaching moments
• What excites you about design education
• What your expertise and fields of interest are
