Information from your teacher
Dear students,
A big welcome to you all!
We are looking forward to meet you all and get to know you. This has been strange times with the corona virus spreading across the earth and a lot of things have been different than usual. This fall we do hope things will return more to what was considered normal. We are happy that you all decided to start a new chapter in your educations at this time.
The first course you are going to attend to we call the ”Introductory course” and it is exactly what it is. Its a rather packed course with introductions, not only to the subject of Child Culture Design, but also to the school, each other’s, us teachers and our workshops. The course is part of a block or theme called “The construction of childhood” in which we will discuss the views upon childhood and deconstruct the term.
The school will start with an introduction at 10.00 on August 30:st. The first slot is a common welcoming via zoom, please look at https://studentportal.gu.se/english/my-studies/hdk-valand/news/calendar/calendar-detail/?eventId=70137220943&skipSSOCheck=true&referer=https%3A%2F%2Fstudentportal.gu.se%2Fenglish%2Fmy-studies%2Fhdk-valand%3FskipSSOCheck%3Dtrue
However, then at 14.00 we will meet you in the entrence of the school at Kristinelundsgatan 6-8.
The first week, September 2nd - September 3rd, we are also planning for a sleepover (that is voluntary). We will present this and give you more information when we start up.
You will find schedule, course guide and literature list here on CANVAS, so please look it up in advance to prepare. Note that because of the current situation, there might me some changes during the first weeks of the semester. We will keep you updated.
Best wishes,
Johnny, Lotta and Christian
