POP-UP SCHOOLS

Our emotional, psychological, and social well-being determines how we handle anxiety and stress. It has a direct impact on how we think, feel, and behave in our personal spaces - and in public and professional contexts.

Designing a service is a complicated task. Learn how to turn your ideas in to journey maps, service blueprints, and experience prototypes.

Through inclusive design practices, we have an opportunity to learn new perspectives of temporality and community from people who defined those things for themselves – such as the QTBIPOC community.

Did you know that design is one of the main enablers when working towards a circular economy?

This course explores the intersection of AI, creativity, and interaction design, moving beyond the hype to uncover meaningful applications. Students will be challenged to rethink human-AI collaboration, and use machine intelligence to design future products, interfaces, and experiences. Through hands-on prototyping and experimentation, we will explore new interaction models, synthetic perception, and AI-driven design processes.

This course explores the fusion of digital and physical spaces to create interactive and engaging environments. It focuses on designing for extended reality (XR), blending augmented and mixed realities to transform navigation, storytelling, and human interaction. Through hands-on prototyping and real-world experimentation, students will develop new ways to enhance and redefine immersive experiences.

The future is uncertain, but design can help us navigate and shape what’s ahead. This course introduces a hands-on approach to future casting—using trend analysis, strategic foresight, scenario planning, and speculative design to anticipate and respond to emerging social, technological, and ecological shifts. Participants will learn how to design within a context of uncertainty, embracing complexity to create more resilient, forward-thinking solutions.

As our world grows more complex, designing seamless, human-centered services is essential. This course offers a hands-on introduction to the tools and mindsets of service design—helping participants create effective, end-to-end experiences across digital, physical, and interpersonal touchpoints.

Did you know that design is one of the main enablers when working towards a circular economy?

An introduction to how the natural world can inspire methods and strategies for sustainable business models.

Interested in how ethics could shape the tomorrow’s design and in finding ways to make difficult decisions through hands-on exploration?
