Education

2009-

Child Culture Design MA level, 120p, 120 ECTS

The aim of Child Culture Design is to give the students advanced knowledge about creative processes and the possibility of forming their own clearly defined

attitude to the subject of design. The students will simultaneously be provided with specialist qualifications for focusing on children’s perspectives. On children’s

and young people’s participation and influence in society. On children’s play, learning, development, culture and health, and above all on the tools of play. The

specialisation will take as its starting point each student’s individual goals. Theory and practice are sandwiched during the period of study. Tuition is carried out

in project form, and consists of lectures, seminars, workshops, thematic work and your own individual work.
