ACTION
We apply the insights of anthropology to the real world. We do that through bootcamps – interdisciplinary workshops where anthropologists and artists are guided in a process of exploration and problem-solving to come up with actual ideas and initiatives on how to improve social inclusion and build a more sustainable relation with the environment.
In the bootcamps, participants go through a small project from beginning to end, they design the project, they do the research, they design interventions and present them to the stakeholder (for example an NGO working in areas related to inclusion or the environment ). The aim here is twofold: showing a possible path for the participants to resolve tensions and produce effect in their work, and helping stakeholders approach wicked problems in new ways.
