SITRAP Kick-off & Panel Appearance
Today marks the kick-off of SITRAP and the initiation of all its work packages. Tin was asked to comment on how SITRAP worked with the student initiatives and how it came to be. His response is that the initiatives could never have come from the teaching staff, but organically had to come from the students. In saying this, the crucial aspect of the teaching staff’s work was to recruit the students themselves and pass the torch.
Tin is currently involved in two of nine workpackages: WP 3 - Helpdesk and WP4 Student Competition.
SITRAP is short for Center for Integrated, Transdisciplinary Education in Planning. The center’s overarching goal is to improve teaching methods and transdisciplinary practices among students within the field of planning - through incorporating academia and practice early on.
