T-Crepe

Last week, we had our final training workshop in France and now the T-Crepe project is coming closer to an end.

We are so glad to have the opportunity to come together once again and learn from each other.

As the T-Crepe team, we would like to thank all the participants and presenters for their contribution and interest.

In the scope of the T-Crepe project’s mobility exchange program, Joanna, Metaxia, and Kostas, who are Master’s students from National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) attended the “Reading Club” during their visit at Ghent University. In October 2022, the design.nexus (design education pillar) team, who are also T-Crepe members, organised an open discussion session on the subject of ‘Coaching’. This was the first “Reading Club” activity of the design.nexus team and was. Inspired by 3 state-of-the-art research of colleagues around the world. Participants discussed types and emerging models of feedback in different fields. They shared views on:

1. What type is the feedback you offer mostly during the Concept development phase in a (design) process: Divergent or Convergent?
2. What do you think of the 'Correcting-Errors' type of feedback?'
3. What are the ‘right’ constraints to set for your students, or to be given as a student?

Participants to the session also included a representative of the Budascoop (city of Kortrijk) performance arts sector (with an active feedback culture for work-in-progress performances). We engaged with hands-on activities, and shared practices of feedback, tutoring and critiquing from education and the dance scene. The multidisciplinary stance of the session gave voice to the culturally and sectorially different practices of coaching, yet, with overlapping concerns and limitations, as well as, creative methods and opportunities in the instructor-student exchange moment.
