IGNITE
Design Thinking and Making in the Arts and Sciences
IGNITE is an EU-funded initiative that unites academic institutions and creative industry partners from three countries to create an open-source, online course to be delivered via the #dariahTeach platform.
From April 2018 to July 2020, the IGNITE project will develop a 20 ECTS course entitled ‘Design Thinking & Making in the Arts and Sciences’, divided into 5 ECTS units which can be taken together or independently. It will be taught within Masters programmes at Aarhus (Denmark) and Maastricht (The Netherlands) Universities.
The role of the ACDH-CH is to adapt and further develop the #dariahTeach platform in order to cater for the specific needs of these new online courses. Furthermore, the ACDH-CH will organize and host the a final dissemination event and masterclass in Vienna in Spring 2020.
