Description
Description
The University of the Underground is a free, pluralistic and transnational university and charity committed to bringing together diverse creative people of different ages and backgrounds. The organisation aims to democratise access to public institutions, encourage experiential and multidisciplinary practice and critical reflection, and create a global network of like-minded collaborations. The content focuses on political theory, philosophy, music, theatre, social action and social dreaming. The programme is financed by a scholarship, lasts two years and ends with a Master Design of Experiences. The application is open to all interested people worldwide. The organisation's network consists of numerous international thinkers, philosophers, activists, politicians, innovative companies, creatives and curators.
