*UNIDEE* at Cittadellarte is changing. After 14 years as a residency 
programme, and a transitional 15th edition questioning the relevance of 
traditional residency schemes while testing out a new format, UNIDEE has 
evolved into a multifaceted platform, with a new educational programme 
based on interdisciplinary research, knowledge sharing and experience 
exchange, alongside a series of artists' residency projects.
*
UNIDEE - University of Ideas offers an educational artistic programme of 
weekly residential modules taking place both at Cittadellarte and at 
international academic partners' sites.* An alternative to the 
traditional educational system, it works in synergy with international 
academies and public universities. It fosters processes of 
cross-pollination to investigate the relationship between art and public 
sphere, focusing on topics like social responsibility, urban 
transformation, participatory art practices, demopraxy, alternative 
models of local economic development, sustainability, etc.
*
Designed for artists, curators, students, social entrepreneurs, cultural 
project managers, etc.*, UNIDEE - University of Ideas' modules put 
forward a participatory learning experience in a small group setting, 
through practices, methodologies and tools apt at forging knowledge 
while fostering relational skills, socially responsible behaviours that 
value diversity, 'effective' horizontal thought processes, and the 
possibility to 'err', on a quest for new means of expression.

The programme is conceived as a long term endeavour with the mission to 
be engaging continuously with civil society not only through *dialogue 
and active participation*, but also through the *(re)localisation of 
those processes of symbolic identification* on the side of the modules' 
and residencies' participants, in Biella as well as in their own 
original social contexts and groups.

UNIDEE - University of Ideas' Modules for 2015: *_
*
UNIDEE - University of Ideas educational programme of weekly modules at 
Cittadellarte kicks off with its first year on May 4th and runs until 
November 27th, 2015. *
Its programme for 2015 sets out to explore three broad concepts: 
temporality, responsibility, participation (_www.cittadellarte.it/unidee 
<http://www.cittadellarte.it/unidee>_). Analysed from a variety of 
angles (artistic, historical, geographic, philosophical, political, 
economic, anthropological, sociological, mediological, juridical, 
architectural, etc.), these three key topics will be unravelled together 
by participants, mentors and guests, through an exciting blend of 
formats spanning from the theoretical to the performative. The modules 
will encompass experiments in art history paradigms, activism, commons, 
prefigurative politics, territorial transformation, museology, visual 
narratives, social imagery, relational systems, new rituals, social 
cooking, urban space exploration, ideas gathering (etc.).
