HTOK00001U Urban Culture in Theory and Action (IARU Global Summer Program)
MA Elective in Global Urban Studies (Kandidattilvalget i Globale Bystudier, 2015-ordningen)
This summer school focuses on cultural entrepreneurship and social innovation in the city by combining urban theory with hands-on practice. Through a combination of lectures, seminars, tutorials, workshops and field trips, the student will engage with cultural practitioners and urban theorists from across the world. Bringing academic knowledge of urban life together with empirical know-how generated by practitioners, the program do-it-yourself approach will help students develop their own ideas into project proposals that can inspire entrepreneurship and innovation in their home cities.
The program is tied together with the simultaneous STRØM electronic music festival and embedded within Copenhagen’s alternative spaces, particularly the co-creative community PB43. Using Copenhagen as a laboratory for studying music, art and innovative use or development of urban space, the summer school opens up to cross-cultural and global perspectives through presentations of research from Asia and the Middle East.
