Discover how teachers and students at the State University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil transformed a crisis into an opportunity for radical teaching experiments with 'Everyday Acts of Design'.

Explore alternative design teaching methods that foster democracy and freedom, proving that creation can assert a way forward through making and experimenting.
