Summer School - THE EDUTECT

From 29 August to 9 September 2022, VILNIUS TECH organises a 3 ECTS Summer School "THE EDUTECT" for students in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Interior Design. The Summer School is one of ATHENA's Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP), recently introduced by the new Erasmus+ programme (2021-2027) as an alternative form of mobility. Therefore, students can credit the Summer School to their study plans as in the case of traditional Erasmus+ mobility.

The invitation letter from VILNIUS TECH can be found here.

THE EDUTECT aims to develop relations between architecture and education sciences. Students will choose one of the following two workshops:

• Equitable School: Mid 20C factories for massive education today transfers into community schools, cherishing values of democratic culture and social responsibility. Are there any spatial solutions to implement such miraculous conversion? Curators: Dolf Broekhuizen (Netherlands), Liutauras Nekrošius, Edita Riaubienė (Lithuania).
• Architecture In-Between Homes: Because of the global (climate, conflict) disasters more and more people are forced to leave their homes. Migrants lose their native cultural context, children – possibility of getting the proper education. No doubt, student and teacher are the central figures in the education process. However, environment nurtures as well. What kind of a portable school would one take to the journey in-between the former and future home? Curators: Barbara Pampe, Vittoria Capresi (Germany), Indrė Ruseckaitė (Lithuania).

Information and support

BIP - The Erasmus+ programme introduces new Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP) as alternative mobility for students and staff. BIP combines short-term physical mobility with a virtual component and makes Erasmus+ mobility more flexible. Students who participate in BIP can combine their study plans at their home institution and mobility at the same semester.

Students will receive support for physical mobility: 70 Euro per day. Students with fewer opportunities may receive travel support. Students who do not receive travel support can opt for green travel. In this case, they will receive a single contribution of 50 Euro as a top-up amount to the individual support and up to four days of additional individual support to cover travel days for a return trip, if relevant.

The International Office of the University of Siegen provides further information and support to students for physical mobility. Please contact Susanne Engelmann, susanne.engelmann@zv.uni-siegen.de.
