The in-person session will take place in Olomouc, Czechia from 24 to 28 November, 2025. The virtual sessions take place between November 18th and December 2nd, 2025.
During the virtual components the students will learn about the projected activities that will be carried out during the physical component. This will entail an intersection of transdisciplinary tasks regarding sustainability, agriculture, brown fields, architecture (urban sprawl) and the reflection of these societal impacts in the humanities and in the arts. Simultaneously, students will be tutored on 3M presentations.
