Collective curriculum is an open-source archive of practices for connecting with the world in response to climate crisis. Designers are invited to share a pedagogical exercise response to the prompt – what creative practice could you offer to as a shared exercise in response to climate crisis?
The archive is formed from printed posters, offering a ‘pick and mix’ collection of creative actions – activities and actions that respond to the climate crisis and inspire collective acts of repair and transformation.

Dr Bridget Keane is a Lecturer in Learning and Teaching in the Built Environments Learning + Teaching (BEL+T) group in the Faculty of Architecture Building and Planning, University of Melbourne. She is co-chair of the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects Victoria Education Committee. Her teaching and creative practice focus on the role of design in the context of climate crisis and positioning the designer as one of many interacting agents within complex ecological, material, and economic systems. Her current focus is on bringing this thinking to the expansion of knowledge of pedagogy in the built environment disciplines with the recent publication Designing Landscape Architectural Education: Studio Ecologies for Unpredictable Futures co-edited with Rosalea Monacella and published by Routledge.
