The activities are organized by the students themselves supervised by the coach, including everything applicable between idea and conclusion, such as negotiating about, making all necessary arrangements concerning and wrapping up matters with third parties. In 4 designing days the student designs in cooperation with fellow-students a series of 6-10 workshops, master classes and other group activities. The topics relate to the student's professional practice. During the study year the students will meet up in study group meetings for evaluation and intervision.
