#33 Fusing arts and science at EPFL: the Improgineering experience from a participants perspective with Marguerite Thery
Join Marguerite Théry as she shares her transformative journey through the Improgineering program, which melds arts with engineering, underlining the importance of embodiment and collaboration in education. In this episode of the Embodied Educator podcast, Marguerite discusses her unique background, her experiences in a non-traditional engineering education, and the profound impact of using body knowledge in fostering creativity and resolving conflicts. Through own morning pages, reflective diaries, active group work, and creative performances, the Improgenyering program challenges traditional educational paradigms, encouraging both students and educators to embrace vulnerability and creative expression. Listen in to discover through Marguerite her journey how these embodied practices are beautifully and profoundly reshaping the intersection of education, engineering, and embodiment. I would say this program is really building agency, come and listen for yourself.
Thanks Marguerite for sharing your experience with the audience so honest and beautiful!
