Never Never School

Never Never School is a unique space for dialogical learning, utopian speculation, and research about cities. Since 2018, the Spolka collective has been creating this platform in Košice, Slovakia, for individuals and teams working with spatial practices across artistic, design, and social disciplines. Each year, the school brings together diverse perspectives to address urgent issues.

As a prototype and concept for 21st-century education, it is built on the principles of collaboration and mutual learning. The school uses design as a tool for investigation, imagination, and dialogue about possible futures. It also serves as an innovation hub, giving participants the chance to turn their ideas into projects rooted in local contexts, which they test and develop together. It takes a democratically oriented approach to learning and transcends the traditional boundaries of education.More information can be found on the dedicated Never Never School page.
