Mini-courses are seen as a way to broaden exploration and participation of students outside of the over-burdened, over-pressured semesters, and increase engagement and depth of focus. Three mini-courses are planned targeting architects and planners. They link: 1) further development and testing of innovative 'tools and strategies' for designers; 2) direct community involvement through field workshops; and 3) reflection on practice in a learn-do-reflect/brainstorm cycle. Instead of seeking funding for a single course, a series following a single theme is proposed, addressing a broader range of related issues.
