The Story of Space: A Model for an Interdisciplinary Learning Festival

Between the 10th and 19th of November 2017, Panjim city in Goa, India, turned into a learning playground with live experiences, immersive installations, workshops, talks, films, and panels on questions around space from multiple perspectives.

We engaged researchers, artists, and educators from around the globe — eighteen countries including India — to tell stories around the physics, philosophy, politics, and perception of space. These stories were geared to promote multi-perspective thinking and mindful inquiry and aligned to UN’s Sustainable Development Goals — critical for the 21st century.

The festival was attended by 5000 students, youth, adults, and elderly. It was kept free to be open and accessible to everyone.

The Story of Space — Post Festival Report documents all the projects and people involved in the Festival. It serves as a model for interdisciplinary approaches in public engagement, integrating art, science, and education to create immersive and accessible experiences that foster curiosity and critical thinking among diverse audiences.

Happy inspiration!
