Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece and Cyprus, seen with new eyes - from the sea. Art as a co-lab between Tikvah Breimer, Francesco Torresani, Mattia Leone (DiARC UNINA) and Lucas Rampazzo.











‘SouthSouth European Peer to Peer’ is our breeding ground for innovation - a space to listen, dialogue, share (mistakes, experimentations), exchange experiences, be inventive.

The idea for a South South European ‘Peer to Peer’ for university teachers, originates from the time that lockdowns started lifting, and we woke up to a new Europe in higher education. Does it make sense - to believe, the South is in the unique and optimal position to develop capacity, in the South? Might they have similar experiences, challenges and inventiveness?

Our focus in finding common ground is on advisory and training around effective and resilient curriculum design.

We aspire to playfully connect Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece (incl Cyprus), organically over time. We do so through our pilots, exchanges, and advisory work.
Even so:
We approach the North and South of Europe without compartmentalising the regions, but rather seeing the fluidity of their borders, and exploring each other’s worlds, history, present experiences, needs, ideas and hopes. You can see this beautifully reflected in the graphic art created especially for the event, in which Lucas Rampazzo sees the South with new eyes, from the sea, and as a single borderless line.

The envisioned ‘Peer to Peer’ listening, exchange, dialogue exists of researchers and university teachers (which are not mutually exclusive and even seasonal). To ground the exploration, our umbrella is in the technical field of architecture, urban planning, urbanism, climate.

Ours is an open-ended endeavour, which takes shape in the present tense, through our dialogues and pilots and exchange travels.

Why South-South
South-South refers to the initiative to ignite capacity development of university teachers that follows a two-way direction especially within the South of Europe itself (peer to peer exchange). Thereby the dialectic, the contradiction, the comparison, are not ignored but actively sought as a rich way to explore the boundaries of these worlds and their lived realities, worlds, histories, dreams.
