Family exchange

The ultimate way of learing from other people is by sharing family experiences - family exchanges. The students taking part in this project will therefore be encouraged to live with a family of different ethnic background for a short period of time and to discuss themes of universal interest: love, religion, hospitality and death. These conversations shall be recorded by use of state-of-the-art 3 G mobile phone technology and documented through talks, pictures and videos. Assisted by local contemporary artists, the students will transform his/hers pictures and videos into artistic expressions to be used in a contemporary art exhibition describing the students´perception and view of  how "the other" relate to these universal issues.

The student can also write an essay to express what it was like to live in a culturally different family or make personal sketches and drawings to pass on similarities/ differences between "us" and "them".
