City of Echoes is a living lab where every story counts. University training, provides us with the essential tools and skills and entitles us to make decisions that shape our built environment. The issue however, arises when one relies solely on this education and stops listening and asking questions. At city of Echoes, we are experimenting a complementary educational strategy which is based on learning directly from the citizens. We ask questions, listen to stories and imagine our tomorrow.

All art and design universities must address the climate crisis. This is Klasse Klima's mission, a student-led seminar series and education collective based at University of the Arts Berlin. We are building a transnational network with groups from other art schools, connecting them through innovative digital infrastructure and a fluid joint corpus of transformative knowledge and practices: a synergetic push towards a sustainable and inclusive shift in aesthetic education in Europe and beyond!
