Does the atelier method or studio teaching environment of one communal space and one fixed timetable offer the best support and learning opportunities for today’s creative students?
Disruption / Innovation
*Learning beyond the borders of discipline.
*Learning beyond borders: international element.
*Learning beyond borders: beyond the classroom.
*Learning beyond borders of existing learning and teaching modules.
Relating our work to other approaches
Hacking the Fixperts model
• Collaborative Team working
• Allowing for real world experience
• Creating strong visual communication through film making (more on this later)
• Developing a response through an iterative design process
• Learning to listen and understand the needs of others
• Connecting with (an) immediate environment(s)
*Dementia, memory loss
*9 collaborative group projects involving 36 students, staff and third sector organisations, Fixperts.org

How can co-design offer a medium to enable people living in transient multi-ethnic ‘villages’ communicate with each other and build understanding across cultures and generations?
