The fifth session of the PLAYSHOP Innovation Design Practice International Collaborative Curriculum (PLAYSHOP) will be fully launched in June 5th - July 5th, 2023 at the School of Design and Innovation (SDI), China Academy of Art (CAA). PLAYSHOP Innovation Design Practice Curriculum is an international curriculum project of the third semester in SDI and the first global joint teaching experiment in CAA that attempts to reorganize our traditional teaching model.

In the contemporary context where art, design and technology fully meet, the annual PLAYSHOP is a multi-dimensional educational experiment for the conventional teaching system and collective memory of the summer carnival of PLAYSHOP teachers and students. In the first three seasons of PLAYSHOP teaching practice from 2019 to 2022, we collaborated with 84 international tutors from 19 countries and regions and 2,489 students, and experienced logic cycle from “YOUNG to young/Illusion” to “PLAYSHOP”, and finally came to “Illusion”, “Conjecture” and “Manifesto” as core concepts of the first, second and third grades. Taking “collective creation” as the method, during the four-week from mid-June to mid-July, we will think together, experience together, and play together.

In 2023, SDI of CAA will once again launch a new session of PLAYSHOP. We will stay with the theme of “PLAYSHOP” and couple with the sub-theme of “Illusion”, “Conjecture”, and “Manifesto” to match the three grades of students and re-discuss the definition of games carefully. International and domestic tutor groups will collaborate and establish a set of new creative teaching templates. We will openly recruit 39 international tutors to match 39 domestic tutors to participate in the collaborative curriculum of 39 classes. Therefore, we send a sincere invitation to all outstanding young designers, artists, scientists, and innovators worldwide, and we look forward to your participation in this energetic teaching action.

We accept all different forms of teaching outlines and course plans. After the professional evaluation of your materials and teaching plan by the academic committee of the college, you and your partner tutor will form a mentor group to stimulate teaching thinking jointly. We hope this collective teaching experience will enrich your academic research direction and areas of concern. We look forward to seeing you bring the most effective teaching methods and cutting-edge professional information to our students or developing and experimenting with them together.

Finally, we sincerely invite you to join this passionate global joint teaching initiative to share your innovative research in art, design and technology, and related professional research.
