CANactions School in collaboration with Brno University of Technology — Faculty of Architecture, the City of Warsaw, the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, the Romanian Order of Architects Bucharest and the Bucharest Architecture Annual together created a postgraduate education program called “Alternative Models”. The program focuses on the study and creation of the urban environment in Central and Eastern Europe. The individual parts of the program deal with the key phenomena of our cities. Due to the involvement of a wide range of invited experts, the program examines these issues from the perspective of various scientific disciplines.

The program is exposed to the context of four countries - Czech Republic, Poland, Romania and Ukraine - in order to explore their approaches for creating liveable cities, with the aim of proposing alternative models. During the Program, participants are going to work on one selected sub-theme under the guidance of the theme's competent institution and mentorship, as well as the location of the physical workshop. The continuous learning process provides the possibility of knowledge exchange between workshop groups, as well as institutions, experts, and mentors. Applicants are asked to select one sub-theme which directly assigns them under the guidance of the institution and mentorship of that theme, as well as the location of the physical workshop.
