Waiting for better times to come
We were looking forward to run the 3rd edition of Atlantic Wonder Summer School in Madeira island, but the COVID-19 pandemic made us change all our plans.
We hope that next year we will be able to host curious and enthusiast people to explore the diversity of natural wonders present on this small island in the Atlantic Ocean and learn together.
Stay tuned!

About AW2020
The third edition aims to reflect on and rethink about the design practice to shift from an anthropocentric to nature centric perspective. Through Atlantic Wonder Summer School, we aim to build a platform where people can collaborate across disciplines, forming new understandings of nature and its relationship with design. For collaboration to happen it is necessary to learn to listen and try to understand others’ perspective; a common language and vocabulary must be established; tools to communicate in a less technical and inscrutable way must be designed.
Following the work started last summer, we aim to explore more the contribute of natural sciences in providing tools and methods for observing, analysing and understanding nature.
The summer school programme includes many field work activities led by local natural scientists. Central is learning-by-walking and staying in the open air. The programme aims to bring the participants through a process of re-understanding of what they know about design through this very contact with nature.

Who can join AW2020?
The summer school is open to any field of study, research and practice. Students, researchers and practitioners of any age and experience are welcome. The programme aims to encourage collaboration and an interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving.

What makes AW programme special?
Explorations in the natural environment ~ To learn from and about nature it is necessary to be in nature. For this reason, the programme offers several explorations around the island, such as walking along ‘levadas’, sailing off the coasts of Funchal, visiting bio agriculture farms and more.
Food as a tool to connect people ~ Coffee breaks, pic-nics and dinners are very important moments for socialising, sharing and learning. Food will be our strategy to aggregate people, generate interesting dialogues, build new friendships and a cohesive team of work.
Warm up your body and mind ~ Every morning, before starting the long day of work, we will offer a warm up session to remind the participants and mentors about the importance of listening to their own body, and re-establishing their connection with Nature and other living beings.
Join us at the Nature Talks event within the programme of Atlantic Wonder summer school. Find more about the themes and questions of discussion at: https://maddschool.tumblr.com/naturetalks
