context and aim
The Programme proposes each year collective projects in partnership with local, Swiss or international institutions, communities or associations. These projects are an opportunity for the students to discover unfamiliar territories and to engage in research that are complementary or peripheral to their own study field and to create interpersonal relationships with their collaborators. Collaborative projects reach issues concerning education, international relations, intergenerational exchanges, gender politics, migration, emerging cultures of sustainability, climate change, disability. The projects are realized in different format such as conferences, displays, installations, publications, dialogical devices, posters, and other hybrid forms.

Freire/Illich in Geneva
For a critical and political practice of pedagogy
The project proposed by microsillons engages to study a historical seminar organized by Paulo Freire and Ivan Illich for the World Council of Churches, in Geneva, on the 6th of September 1974.
During their research, the students meet a few protagonists of the event and read a selection of texts by Freire and Illich. Their mission is to realize a five minutes video on one of the issues raised by Freire and Illich.
