The Nomadic oases and expeditions

EXPEDITIONS
At the outset, the Nomadic University offered three expeditions each containing three oases.
The three expeditions aimed to reflect upon certain given topics or perspectives through art.
Since 2009, the project is transforming into a more flexible structure where the developing learning process fuses with local initiatives.

OASES
An oasis is an intensive four-day session including workshops, lectures, panel debates, art events and other activities.
Each oasis will be held on different locations interacting with local communities on local perspectives.
Every oasis will be documented by a series of research reports, publications and/or
media productions for comparative and cumulative learning and research initiation on European leadership.
