These are approached through multidisciplinary research methods, for instance the arts, handicrafts and nature sciences through living in and exploring the culture and environment in different location participating the school.
The focus of the school is on the encounters between traditions and modern times: traditional forms of culture and contemporary practices are brought to dialogue and work as materials for the school. The landscapes are explored and interpreted with culturally sensitive and new materialistic investigations and artbased processing.
