New professional prospects with the continuing education programme at HGK Basel
The current continuing education programme at HGK Basel covers a wide range of workshops and summer schools on topics related to art and design: practical and inspiring
The current continuing education programme at HGK Basel comprises a diverse range of workshops and summer courses with innovative formats. The workshops address current issues in design, art, technology, and education in a practical, experimental manner that is open to interdisciplinary perspectives. The continuing education programme at HGK Basel is aimed at designers, artists, teachers, and creative professionals. The courses can be booked individually or combined into modules.
A special highlight of the current continuing education programme at HGK Basel is the new format “Grounded Transformation – Design as a Process of Change.” This six-week lecture series, led by Prof. Ann Mbuti, Professor of Process Design & Publics & Storytelling at the Institute for Experimental Design and Media Culturex (IXDM) at HGK Basel, understands design as an active contribution to social, ecological, and cultural change.
The HGK Basel continuing education programme focuses on theoretical reflection, critical positions, and collaborative and participatory approaches that not only analyze transformation but also test it creatively. Together with the summer workshops in June and July 2026, the programme offers space for in-depth study, exchange, and new inspiration in the stimulating environment of HGK Basel.
