The Writing-PAD Vision

• In place of educational bureaucracy, we envision a more joined-up, student-centred, collaborative, ethical, and ecological approach to learning, making and doing.

• At the institutional and economic level this would entail a closer integration of research, practice, and teaching.

• In effect, this suggests a unified field that acknowledges writing as a catalyst to a variety of practices such as ideation, visualisation, thought, speech, action, drawing, making or research.

• Students would benefit from a more integrated learning environment; moreover, various practices of writing would offer some common ground for all staff.

• We wish to share and develop this vision.

• If it is imaginable and shareable...we believe that it must be attainable.
