Course description

Creative and practical-aesthetic learning processes are experience-based learning processes that are linked to active, bodily, experience-oriented, relational, creative and exploratory strategies for holistic learning.

The interaction with knowledge of and influences from the surroundings is also a recurring theme. The course provides a general introduction to the theory and research-led basis for analysis and application of creative and practical-aesthetic learning processes in different practice contexts.
