"REBUILDING AGENCY!!! " GSA Learning & Teaching Conference 2026 Worshop Poster

Across the measured city of creative education, students move through briefs, feedback and assessment. When design becomes too closely attached to optimisation, experimentation begins to disappear. This workshop enters the space between critique, confidence and authorship, asking how agency can be rebuilt through reflection, risk-taking and collective pedagogical practice!!
