Make things, think critically, work together: Ideas space with Alternative School of Economics

Join Alternative School of Economics for a mapping session using our personal skills and knowledge, collaborations, communities and networks. Through this exploration and insights from Alternative School of Economics' work – we'll discuss what creative and critical thinking really looks like, and explore why these skills matter for the future of work. The Alternative School of Economics, run by artists Ruth Beale and Amy Feneck, is an artistic project using the practice of self-education to study economics, creating a framework for investigating political, social and cultural issues. Part of Upgrade Yourself Festival 2026.
