In the framework of the course, "Art, Activism and the Public Space," at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, as lecturers we guided projects created by the collaboration between various communities and students from different departments. The projects emerged from the needs of the residents combined with the students' desire to take action. As lecturers, we developed the field of community change and development based on art and design by means of learning from the field itself, and as the process progressed we participated in research groups at various universities around the world.
