What I Wish I Had Learned In School

We invited people to contribute a 45-minute lesson about what they wished they had learned at school. We supported ten participants in the process of preparing a lesson on their chosen subject.

The classes ranged from practical skills to personal revelations, and they were open to anyone attending. The space for the lessons resembled a school classroom, and there were 15-minute breaks between the classes.

The project was a collaboration between Maija Hirvanen, Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen and myself. It took place at the Kerava Art Museum in 2012 as part of Palikkaooppera, curated by Kristian Smeds.
