Have fun!

Collaboration agreement TEC-CH & Museum of Cultures, Lugano

The Master TEC-CH is establishing a collaboration agreement with The Museum of Cultures of the City of Lugano, for research and didactic purposes. The collaboration with the Museum of Cultures has been on-going for the past few years, for students projects (such as for the course “Interactive Communication for Museums” in 2005, or the course “Design of Interactive Applications”, on-going at present), and for seminars taught to TEC-CH students (Museum Anthropology in summer 2007). Following this agreement, the collaboration between the Museum and the Master will be intensified. Students will have free access to the museum’s know-how, library and resources. The MCL will also be involved in the organization of a series of didactic seminars on arts and culture, in the forthcoming years.
