Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The reactive solving of problems or the optimization of knowledge are no longer sufficient in a highly complex ("VUCA") world like the one we live in today. Rather, it is a matter of "thinking from the future" to generate new knowledge and new approaches, "listening and understanding what wants to emerge", in order to develop approaches and concepts that actively shape this future and change it sustainably ("Futures Literacy").
The extension curriculum (EC) "Knowledge Creation: How new knowledge and innovation emerge" and this lecture deals with the question of the emergence of (radically) new knowledge and the generation and design of innovation. The lecture offers the theoretical concepts, while in the VU and SE "Knowledge Studio", which belong to the EC, these theoretical concepts are implemented in practical innovation and knowledge projects up to prototypes in a workshop/studio.
Theoretical basics and practical tools are discussed, ranging from idea generation, structuring of knowledge, precise observation, identification of potential, "learning from the future", "listening to what comes up", prototyping, design, presentation of an innovation and basics of didactics of knowledge transfer and collaborative knowledge generation.
In this EC/VO state-of-the-art innovation and knowledge generation concepts and technologies (and their theoretical background) are presented and applied in concrete settings (e.g. explicit making of implicit assumptions, understanding patterns of perception and thinking, theory-U/presencing, different modes of profound and qualitative/ethnographic observation, interviews, deep knowing, exploring potentials, prototyping, etc.). These processes affect both the individual and the collective level.
This EC/VO offers sufficient space for reflection on your projects and students' questions.
