start-up studio

In the start-up studio people applied to collaborate as a community of practice over the course of 6 month (April–Sep and Oct–March). Some elements in the start-up studio were set up while others are emerging in the process, depending on the needs and opportunities of a particular cohort.

It used to be a collaborative participant-led learning space where the process of creativity and design practices promoted new forms of entrepreneurship. Consequently, people joining the group were asked to contribute to the collective with their own ideas, skills and expertise to work towards a collaborative environment where arts and design played a transformational role.

The start-up studio used to be open to various participants: students, alumni, researchers, staff, career switchers from various disciplines and backgrounds, most of them asking for alternative models on how to build new enterprises.

start-up studio 6: Get your Ideas Out

Get your Ideas Out was considered for creatives with various backgrounds who like to explore individual ideas and bring them forward. 

The sessions were designed as peer sessions where each participant was encouraged to give and receive feedback as well as to track individual and group progress. We generated ideas by playing games and iterated these concepts in a collaborative format. Apart from that, participants were encouraged to take the first step in their relevant context – even if it was a tiny action.

This cohort was accompanied by Florian Ritter and Anastasia Zagorni
