Pedagogy

CCC. Geneva, Switzerland

Since 1999 Nils Norman has been a visiting lecturer at the Critical Cross Cultural Cybermedia research-based master programme, (CCC), Geneva, Switzerland. 

 

At the CCC he has developed a variety of seminars and workshops that look at the city in detail. Visiting housing initiatives, collective farms, squats, alternative spaces, parks and other urban projects. These visits and course dialogue focus on gentrification and the effects it has had on Geneva's social and pubic spaces over the past 10 years.

 

The Centre International de Recherches sur l'Anarchisme (CIRA) in nearby Lausanne is an invaluable resource and a great source of inspiration. It has been visited often with different groups of students over the years.
