🌟 Have you ever pondered what the future of our cities would be like if children took the lead? 🏙️ Last week, we celebrated remarkable achievements from three years of Disco School workshops, a movement that empowers kids to become designers, leaders, and active citizens. Through speculative design, they tackle vital socio-cultural issues with creativity and insight. 🎨💡 Established in 2020 with one primary school in Slovenia, Disco School has now reached 500+ children from 8 schools, spanning 4 cities and 4 states. 📚🌎 A heartfelt salute to our dedicated teachers, talented artists, and visionary design experts who have united to bring this project to life. The journey has just begun, and the future looks bright! 🚀 #DiscoSchool #ChildrenInCharge #BrighterFuture

📢 INTERAKCIJE 2023: HOMO AQUATICUS → Application deadline: 8 September 🚨 Quick reminder of the deadline approaching. Do not miss the chance to be part of this intense and enriching experience. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭?

The workshop will focus on potential utopian communities of the near future, bringing new social, energetic or more-than-human concepts to life through speculative design and similar approaches. New places of community resilience, but not as places of utopian new beginnings, but rather as places of transition in the present towards new and different societies, communities of hope and communities of the future.
