Students of UNIC's Erasmus Mundus joint master’s programme RePIC (Redesigning the Post-Industrial City MSc) were welcomed to University College Cork, Ireland, on the 8th to 12th of January for "CityLabs Week", a key part of their two-year course.
RePIC is taught across eight universities in the UNIC alliance, embedding co-creation and engaged research skills for societal impact. During the programme students live and study in up to three of those universities.
RePIC focuses on the urban challenges of cities in post-industrial transition and their superdiverse populations. The programme is led in UCC by Architecture and Geography, represented by the Joint Programme Directors, Dr Jason O’Shaughnessy and Dr Denis Linehan.
CityLabs Week 2024 involved learning in partnership with City Council Council and local community partners, including Fairhill Community Association, Northside Community Enterprises, SECAD and Green Spaces for Health. Highlights of the week included a welcome reception with UCC president Prof. John O’Halloran, Walking Interviews with community partners, Mutual Learning Exercises, and devising and developing design-led responses to Urban Challenges, presented to City partners at the end of the week.
