To prepare:
Be ready with stopwatch
Set up Menti results
Set up Padlet results
Kerry
We’ve heard a lot over the last few days about the innovations that are occurring across the world, even in the middle of a global pandemic
We want to give you a chance to collaborate within one another in the space
And hopefully with us at Nottingham Trent University
Kerry
Kerry
A school of around 6000 students
With both UG and PG programmes that span the:
Visual Arts
Visual Communications
Fashion Management, Marketing & Communication
Fashion, Textiles & Knitwear Design
Kerry
We are nestled in the heart of Nottingham
Kerry Gough Learning & Teaching Manager
School of Art & Design
Led on the design of our CoLab module – the cross-disciplinary, collaborative module
Where all students across the School of Art & Design will collaborative in mixed cross-School teams from outside of their discipline
To work with partners from outside of the School – including our community and industry partners, as well as other institutions
We are here to invite ELIA Art Schools to collaborate with us
Justine Davidson
Delivered a number of collaborative projects, working with live industry partners with courses outside of the discipline on other campuses
Kerry
What do we do?
Like most art schools we have a long history (since 1843) of:
Live projects
Working with industry
On Creative briefs
And engaging with our community
However much of this work, while producing innovative outputs, was disparate, embedded within courses, and built upon the expertise and contacts within courses
This offered limited opportunity to break beyond the discipline
We wanted more of that collaboration activity & so we made a whole School commitment to offer that for every student in the School of Art & Design
Kerry
CoLab became the embodiment of that
We'd like to very briefly share how we redesigned our UG curriculum to foreground collaboration as the driver for innovation and change across our taught curriculum to offer every student the opportunity to collaborate with students from outside of their course
Kerry
The result?
This included students working on unexpected outcomes together in collaboration through an interactive exploration of ideas
To produce unexpected and unintended outcomes
It’s primary purpose was to stretch students’ thinking to expose them to new ideas and to encourage them to take risks
Addressing students’ fear of failure
the Level 4 experience was unassessed
The Level 5 CoLab modules assesses students on their engagement in the process not the product
To date some highlight examples of collaborative projects have included:
E-Textiles & Microliving - Textile Design, Product Design & NTU Makerclub
Experimental Theatre Residency - Costume Design & Making, Theatre Design, Confetti, Nottingham College & an External London Director
ChangeMakers - Graphic Design, Product & Furniture Design & Creative Conscience - resulted in ongoing collaboration with the School
Emmanuel House & Sue Ryder Community Project -reworking unusable charity shop items into a fashion event - Fashion Design, Fashion Communication and Promotion, Art & Design Research
Re-Discovering Notts: Castles in Nottingham with Notts TV - Filmmaking, Animation, Visual Effects (Confetti), Author James Wright & Notts TV
Residential Film Location Shoot, Derbyshire Moors – Filmmaking and Costume Collaborative Project - Filmmaking, Costume Design & the TV Actors Workshop
Microsoft & ASOS Fashion App project – Fashion Management & Computer Science students

Although of course with inter-disciplinarity the offer in some respcts doesn’t matter
Justine
But first, before we go into the detail, we'd like to hear what collaboration means for you
We are not looking for a definition here, but what collaboration means to you on a personal level
You have 90 seconds to complete this task
Go to menti.com
Use the code 18 46 22 6
And in 3 words state what collaboration means for you
Over to Justine in Derbyshire
What are the highlights?
Much agreement in the room
Kerry
We said we didn't want a dictionary definition, but it is interesting to compare the definitions with what collaboration means to us as a collective
There is a definite continuum in operation here
Kerry
One one side of that continuum, you have your united labour co-operation, working together through:
teamwork
groupwork
in-course collaboration
within discipline
with live projects + live briefs
working towards shared goals
On the other end of the continuum, you have co-operation with the 'enemy':
working outside of the discipline
with inter-disciplinary collaboration
cross institutional collaboration
All of which acts as a disruptive force that generates innovation
When working with
industry partners
community partners
international partners
fitting somewhere in the middle
We want to be on the far end of that continuum, pushing at the boundaries of possibility, taking risks & sometimes failing
As Art Schools, we are uniquely positioned to innovate.
We thrive on experimentation.
We are...
collaborators
provocateurs
disruptors
innovators
problem-solvers
creators
risk-takers
Creativity is just what we do
Before we do anything else, we'd like to give you a chance to share your highlights with each other
Justine
Take 60 seconds to think about a course or module collaboration WOW that you are particularly proud of in a moment we will time you
We'd like to give you an opportunity to WOW one-another
In a moment, we will move into the first of two breakout rooms within this workshop
You will have 5 minutes to share your one collaboration WOW and
as a group agree on one that you will bring back to the main room to share – approximately one minute each
In Zoom we don’t need a timekeeper
In your group the person whose name is first in the alphabet is time-keeper
Your job is to get everyone back on time
Your time starts now and you have 15 minutes (more if there is time!).
We will expect you back at XX:XX
If your name is last in the alphabet, you will be the spokesperson for your group
Justine
Be free in your thinking and have fun
We expect you back at XX:XX
Ask Technical Team to open the breakout rooms
Justine
Share some of those highlights with the group.
We may not get round them all, but it would be good to hear some of your collaboration WOWs
We’d like you to share the highlights of your creations in the chat
Kerry
You've had a chance to think about what you are proud of on the courses that you work within and the collaborations that you have been a part of
We have been inspired for the last few days across the ELIA Biennial
As Ragnar Kjartansson stated in yesterday’s keynote art and innovation occurs when we have freedom and we engage in dialogue innovation happens
Next, we'd like to offer you a curriculum design sprint opportunity to redesign an aspect of your curriculum to offer cross-discipline collaboration with colleagues within the room
Working with the ELIA community, we'd like you to dream big and build some risk-taking – and maybe some failure - into your repertoire
If you could give your students any opportunity to collaborate, what would that look like?
Together – in your breakout rooms - you will create it...
Kerry
Kerry
We are giving you permission
Free yourself of all constraints
Dream big
We'll worry about how to overcome the barriers later
Kerry
Imagine that you are there in the sun...
Kerry
Or, outside on a bench at our glorious Brackenhurst campus...
Kerry
Enjoying a quiet moment with our Award winning Lincolnshire Reds
Kerry
What we are going to offer you is Stage 1 of the Design Sprint process – to whet your appetite
We'd like you to get together to consider your dream collaboration.
However, use your time wisely – this is a sprint
Time will zoom by, so please give everyone time to speak
Kerry
First of all we'd like you to consider what one experience you would wish for your students?
We're going to give you 1 minute thinking about this on your own before we move into breakout rooms
Consider what you'd like to explore with your collaborators in the ELIA community.
Justine
Within your breakout rooms we’d like you to do the following activity together
Switch your cameras and microphones on
Share your collaboration wish – be brief – this is a sprint
From those shared, develop one idea together, collectively
One person should capture your group idea on the postcard slide provided (or a creative platform of your choice)
You should have received this in advance via email, but we have also dropped this into the chat for you to download
Think creatively – there are no boundaries – other than those that we create for ourselves
You will be with a new group – creating a new collaboration and developing more creative conversations
You will get 15 minutes to discuss this so keep an eye on the time
Make sure that capture your ideas as you go and be willing to share these ideas when we come back into the room together
We won’t get around to discussing everyone’s idea together, but you can Share the powerpoint slide deck with colleagues in the room by uploading to Padlet
Upload these at: https://padlet.com/DrKerryGough/q273gi0hmi72w2o7
Justine
Welcome back
You have just experienced the first stage 1 of our Curriculum Design process – generateing new ideas to explore furter
Time to share?
Many of the ideas that you have been involved in are directly linked back to the way that we have defined
We won’t be able to get around everyone’s ideas, but we can share them on padlet.
Padlet entry code: https://padlet.com/DrKerryGough/q273gi0hmi72w2o7
Bitly: https://bit.ly/ELIA2020
Ask colleagues to upload their responses to the chat or email them directly to Kerry and Justine
Kerry
There are a number of issues that arose in the design and planning and we have solutions that we can share
We don’t have the time to go through all of these now, but we will be offering a post-ELIA co-design workshop where you can come and find out more
Kerry
Remember that we created those barriers, so it is in our power to change them.
As Robert Weihe stated in his session earlier in the week (ELIA 2020), artists are agents of change and agent provocateur.
If arts-based practitioners can’t creatively think their way out of the bureaucratic straight jackets that confine us then we are doomed!
Justine
Offer a curriculum design sprint to redesign your curriculum to offer cross-discipline collaboration with Nottingham Trent University.
We’d like to offer an opportunity for arts innovators, activists, bricoleurs, rule breakers and mischief-makers
Or any other interested parties to come and join us in the co-design of an international, inter-disciplinary opportunity for a collective collaborative experience.
Just to reassure, we are looking to develop partners with small groups as well as large cohorts entire cohorts
