Information about your course
Dear students, a big welcome to the program of Child Culture Design and to HDK-Valand!
The semester starts with an introductory course. It’s 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 for all programmes to HDK-Valand at 10.00 on Sep 2nd, at Kristinelundsgatan 6-8
At 13.00 we will meet you in the entrance of the school for a welcoming and an introduction to Child Culture Design.
The second week, September 9th - September 10th , we are planning for a sleepover (that is voluntary). We will present this and give you more information when we start up.
When you are registered in the course you will find all info here on canvas, so please look it up in advance to prepare.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact course responsible teachers Lotta or Christian, or program director Johnny.
We are looking forward to meeting you all and get to know you!
Best wishes,
/Lotta, Christian and Johnny and the teachers team of CCD
