Participated in the Cumulus Conference: “Around the campfire: resilience and intelligence”.

The activities which I enjoyed the most were the paper sessions about “The future of design teaching” and the working groups activities. The atmosphere created was more relaxed and fresh and it allowed us to exchange ideas and to give and receive feedback in a deeper way that we can usually do during a paper dissertation.
