PUBLIC EVENTS

The Independent School for the City organizes various public events, addressing topics that responds to current relevant issues. The events are accessible to all 'urban' professionals in Rotterdam and beyond.

SCHOOL'S OUT!

Friday night is School's Out! Every last Friday of the month the Independent School for the City celebrates the start of the weekend with a public lecture and film program, while enjoying a drink and some food. School’s Out! is meant for a general (public) audience. The themes of the School's Out! Fridays are loosely related to the curriculum of the School.

BACK TO SCHOOL WITH...

Back to School with... is a sequence of research based lectures where we invite notable people that woke our interest and curiosity and from whom we want to learn more. For each series of three evenings, we ask someone that inspires us to design and curate a lectures programme around one topic or question that is on their mind at that moment. Each event starts with a collective dinner. More info about Back to School with... can found here

OTHER EVENTS

In addition to our monthly School's Out! evenings, and the Back to School with... series, we organise various public events, addressing topics that responds to current relevant issues in urbanisation. The School also offers a platform to other organisation dealing with the city. The events are accessible to all 'urban' professionals in Rotterdam and beyond.

The Independent School for the City regularly features various exhibitions that are either the result of school projects or a stand-alone expo compiled by (architecture) professionals. We are currently showing a collection of Dog Poo Bags by Peter Veenstra (Lola Landscape Architecture), the result of two design studios at Delft University of Technology dealing with urbanization in the greater Accra region and a selection of pictures of North Korean interiors taken by photographer and architectural critic Oliver Wainwright.
