The New Academy

The After Summer School presents a Rotterdam-based Curriculum for Change. A wide variety of knowledge producers will teach their methods on how to change the city by looking, listening, writing, archiving, collaborating, activating, researching, designing, and walking differently.

30 September - 4 October 2024
During the After Summer School over 20 public classes will take place throughout the city, presenting Rotterdam as a hub for knowledge that deserves to be recognised and included in the city development.
The New Academy
The New Academy is an initiative of the Nieuwe Instituut in collaboration with philosopher Rosi Braidotti that reimagines Rotterdam as a knowledge city. It aims to create a local platform for new ways of learning to address complex social and ecological challenges together. It is centred around knowledge that is city-based, minoritarian, more-than-human, and embodied.
