Courses & Training

We design courses and trainings that follow an experiential approach in which the social and spatial environment is both a storyboard and a lab. With experience, inquiry, and dialogue as key components of our pedagogical philosophy, students and professionals alike are encouraged to explore underlying assumptions and root problems, but also to get inspired and to “translate lessons” to their local context.

In Person Courses

Our on-field courses aim to develop a rich understanding of a cycling city. Participants in our programs engage in fieldwork, excursions, group discussions, and creative workshops to translate theory into practice. Making the programs accessible to a wider audience and context, we now have courses in Spanish, Dutch and Italian besides English. Check them out below!
