We will take over the leadership of a Swedish school in less than a month! From 29.2.2016 – 11.3.2016 Nova Academy in Simrishamn will be under the leadership of The Sister and her enchanting staff when we explore what the school in a Sensuous society would be in a real Swedish school life context. You are welcome to visit us at Open House on 4.3.2016 where we open the doors to our explorations to the public. See invitation here and sign up for your visit by emailing: nana@sistershope.dk
The Takeover
In the Takeover-format we take over the leadership of a series of actual upper secondary schools. We transform the school completely in an immersive landscape of light-, sound- and set-design. The Sister and staff moves in as the new ‘Head Mistress’ and as strange enchanting new colleagues. The teachers at the school are now facilitated to work from the performative premise that they are now teachers at a school based on aesthetic principles – If the aesthetic dimension was governing society and not the economic and if tactile perception was valued as highly as the rational then how would you teach? – Is the question – All to evoke sensuous learning innovations. Math might start by an exercise on ‘how to sense Pi’, History might be initiated by sharing the dreams of the night to explore collective unconscious patterns. Thus, Sisters Academy is not only emphasizing and amplifying the value of the creative subject fields on upper secondary school level, but even more radical these are fundamental to all other subject fields, thus, the project also seek to have an actual political impact on the educational system.
