CAMPUS IN CAMPS

FOUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES

Campus in Camps is a space for communal learning and production of knowledge grounded in lived experience and connected to communities. It brings people together in a pluralistic environment where they can learn freely, honestly and enthusiastically. It reasserts what is fundamental and profound in the lives of the participants, forming an active gro

up that chooses words, constructs meanings, and creates useful knowledge through actions within their communities

We understand “university” in its original meaning in arabic Al jame3ah “a public space, a place for assembly”. Campus in Camps therefore is activated around the interaction and interests of the participants and its structure is consequently in constant transformation and open in order to accomodate changing urgencies. Campus in Camps reclaims diversity in ways of learning. For many, knowledge is based on information and skills; in Campus in Camps we place a strong emphasis on the process of learning that cuts across conventional disciplines of knowledge, moving along a different vision, one which integrates aspects of lives, dialogs with the larger community and is not confined within the walls of academia. It welcomes forms of knowledge that remain undetected by the radar of traditional academic knowledge. Participants are co-authors of meanings, giving names to the reality that surrounds them in order to provide a deeper sense to what they see and experience. Written reflections on personal experiences, interviews, excursions and photographic investigations constitute the starting point for the formulation of more structured thoughts which is both the reference and conceptual framework for all Campus in Camps interventions. By activating critical learning and egalitarian environments Campus in Camps seeking out a

a manner of critical intervention for the strengthening of the social fabric of communities, while seeking to contribute to the way universities understand themselves, aiming to overcome conventional structure. Campus in Camps it is not an isolated island, it aims to transgress the borders between the ‘islands of knowledge’ and the islands of ‘social marginalisation’, and the distinction between camp and city, refugee and citizen, center and periphery, theory and practice, teacher and student. Does not claim a fix territory or an original identity but rather a right to move between spaces and the right to becoming who we want.
