Presentation

Education is one of the main directions of approaching Trakyia neighbourhood within ONE ARCHITECTURE WEEK’s 2016 edition. In a moment when the debate about community and education becomes increasingly intersecting, we want to bring the actors of change in an open class, to learn, discuss and exchange models of action. In the framework of this event, we have invited both teachers and architects with the intention to find out the stories behind several applied education modules, either developed for elementary schools, high schools, or for universities. We will be curious about their strategies, their results, and what we can learn from each other and how to apply these lessons in different contexts.

The Open Class will host 3 presentations, held by: Magdalina Rajeva presenting the “Urban Awareness” module; Alex Axinte, Cristi Borcan and Nina Toleva presenting the “Chitalishte Project” workshop, both developed within ONE ARCHITECTURE WEEK 2016 framework; and Mina Sava and Eliza Yokina, presenting the “De-arhitectura” program, active in several cities across Romania. The presentations will be followed by an open discussion where local actors are invited to discuss the provocations of the educational system as a catalyst for community.
