Workshops and courses for universities
You want your students to leave ready for practice, and your staff to have room to rethink how they teach. We know that a discipline passes on its values in seminars, workshops and mentoring, and that these do more than transfer skills. We also believe that where a whole curriculum cannot change, the Framework can still be taught as a standalone course that links theory and practice on an ethical footing.
That is why Symbiotic Design offers workshops and courses for universities: for staff who want to bring the Framework into their teaching, and for students preparing for working life. The formats are still being described on this page.
Write to us and tell us about your institution, who the workshop or course would be for, and what you hope it will change in the way you teach.
Questions about workshops and courses for universities go to admin@symbioticdesignacademy.com.
