07 oktober 2024 18:00 t/m 28 oktober 2024 19:30 - Locatie: online - Door: Communicatie BK | Zet in mijn agenda

Op 7, 15, 21 en 28 oktober vinden vier sessies plaats als onderdeel van de workshop 'CALL FOR A MANIFESTO FOR A JUST CITY 2024'.

The workshop “Manifesto for the Just City”, now in its fifth edition, is a digital lecture and debate series composed of four online sessions with leading academics and practitioners in the fields of urban theory, urban planning and spatial justice. Upon participation in the online lecture series, teams of students are invited to draft a Manifesto for the Just City, expressing what their visions for cities that are sustainable, fair and inclusive for all. This activity is organised by TU Delft, in partnership with IHS Erasmus University of Rotterdam (The Netherlands), the University of Illinois, the Winston-Salem State University, Morgan State University (US), The Cape Peninsula University of Technology (South Africa) and more. 

Schedule

In order to help write the manifesto, all groups of students are invited to take part in a 4-part online lecture series organised by TU Delft and several partner universities online. In each session, they will have the opportunity to debate with like-minded people from other universities and put their ideas into writing. At the end of this exercise, we hope they will have enough ideas and material to write a trailblazing manifesto with their group. 

The schedule for the 4 sessions is as follows:
