start-up studio

In the start-up studio people apply 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 are set up while others are emerging in the process, depending on the needs and opportunities of a particular cohort.

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

join a community of creative practitioners, interested in collectively shaping the world

The start-up studio is currently 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 is considered for creatives with various backgrounds who like to explore individual ideas and bring them forward. 

We will accept short applications through a call for participation. The sessions are designed as peer sessions where each participant is encouraged to give and receive feedback as well as to track individual and group progress. We will generate ideas by playing games and iterate these concepts in a collaborative format. Apart from that, participants will be encouraged to take the first step in their relevant context – even if it is a tiny action.

This cohort will accompanied by Florian Ritter and Anastasia Zagorni

Open Call is running from Oct 16-30!
