Studium Generale is the platform KABK offers you in your second year to exchange the ways you learn and to get to know specialists from outside of the academy.
Multidisciplinary teamwork, assignments made through collaboration, collaboration and crosspollinations between different working perspectives are vital for commoning.
Commoning is a practice of collaborating and sharing to meet daily needs and achieve well-being, of individuals, communities, and lived-in environments. (web source)
"In many cities around the world, similar stakeholders are collectively implementing initiatives that aim to address common problems, satisfy similar unmet needs, and contribute to the creation of more socially just and ecologically sustainable communities. Among the different types of action, commoning practices propose alternative forms of caring, sharing, protesting, producing, consuming, and occupying, where resources are collectively produced, owned, managed, or distributed".
Regardless of the specific department or discipline you are studying; it is a relevant discourse.
