Pilot 1

The official launch of Pilot 1 of the IMAGE project in February 2021, involved more than 200 students from the five participant cities – Amsterdam, Barcelona, Lisbon, Paris, and Vienna. All teaching was changed to a virtual way of working, with online sessions and online activities”.  The structure of a Launch Event, a Mid-Term Conference in April, and a Final Congress in June were tried out…

Challenging the students to work together and bridging their research about the peripheries in each of their home cities, has brought to light different anchor points that actually connect each territory, representing relevant findings and insights on how to (re)map these specific places. This included potential forms of transformation, inspiration, and different perspectives, linking from day one the concepts like polyphony, polycentrism or imaginaries (for explanation see <LINK to Calibration Document> on this website. 

Places, sounds, smells or senses were explored, resulting in enriching and complementary presentations from the intercity groups that were formed within the project.

Solution: we created a Student Hub tool for Pilot 2.
