The Plattform™ is a teaching format and an initiative for academic exchange, which I founded at HfG Offenbach. It is an opportunity for exchange, toolkit, get-together, network and workshop. The focus is on collaborative learning, mutual feedback, space for questions, disclosure of processes and sharing of resources.

During the class Plattform™ Portfolio, the students developed their self-presentations, while I gave input on visual language and editing, documentation of the work, repro photography, writing project descriptions and developing a graphic concept and layout.

As part of Plattform™ I also initiated and moderated the lecture evening „Real Talk“ on internships in the field of art and design. Three students gave insights into their portfolios, talked about their internships and answered questions about application processes, projects, working hours, challenges, salary, learning experiences… Open to all semesters, departments, subject areas, specializations. No more gatekeeping!
