Description
This workshop presents an open-source mobile app that aims to improve study abroad experiences and post-study reflection by allowing students to document their local environments using contemplated notes, videos, and photographs. Inspired by approaches such as Freinet's la classe-promenade and Guattari's ecosophy, we explore how such an app can encourage language acquisition and cross-cultural interaction—as well as support intellectual understanding and knowledge co-creation through carefully planned, interactive "learning walks".
Summary
This workshop introduces an open-source app designed to enhance study abroad experiences by fostering intercultural understanding and knowledge co-creation. Students use the app to document local environments with videos, photos, and notes, aiding post-study reflection. Inspired by methodologies like Guattari’s ecosophy and Freinet’s la classe-promenade, the app promotes language learning and cultural exchange. It emphasizes reflection over standardized outputs and supporting intellectual growth through curated, interactive Freinet-inspired “learning walks.”
