General description

Under the name of .py.rate.chnic sessions, the second-year students from the Experimental Publishing Master program invite you to participate in a series of hands-on workshops, related to the topics of their graduation projects. Each workshop offers the participants an opportunity to engage with the students' research by partaking in their processes, experiments, and discussions.

.py.rate.chnic sessions are a series of collective work-sessions organized by the XPUB second-year's students and attended by first-years (and/or other students).

Each sessions is conducted by two second-years who organize the session around a topic or format related to their graduation projects. The session will function as an opportunity to develop, experiment, test and discuss their processes collectively.

Formats

The format of a session can be anything!

A few examples:

  • hack-a-thon: where you ask the participants to explore a subject, by making prototypes together (open-ended, technical, DIY)
  • workshop: departing from a specific question / technology / prototype / ... inviting others to engage with it in a specific way (methodology, how-to, tools)
  • (book) sprint: where the group writes collaboratively a manual / research text / book / and produce a website / pdf /... (collective practices, workflows, reading/writing)
  • test session: where a given procedure / methods is tested on the participants and at the end feedback is given (feedback, testing the limits)
  • ... or any other form of activation :--)

Preparations

These could include for example: a text, software installations, material to bring, ...

Using a preparation list is useful, as it will make it easier to start quickly, be a bit productive (installing things often eat up a lot of time!) and have more fun.

TIP: Do not overload the participants with too many preparations.
