AcrossRCA, an annual programme at the Royal College of Art (RCA), unites students from various disciplines for innovative workshops and projects. This event helps students gain fresh perspectives, build connections, and find future collaborators, shaping their time at RCA and their careers beyond. 

Commissioned by John Stevens, we developed a five-day workshop on Collective Intelligence Design. Collective Intelligence Design connects people, technology, and data to predict future events better and coordinate mass activities. This workshop taught students about this practice, enabling them to predict future events and coordinate large-scale activities, driving social and environmental change.

Using the Collective Intelligence Design Canvas, students from disciplines such as Architecture, Digital Direction, Global Innovation Design, Information Experience Design, Innovation Design Engineering, Intelligent Mobility, Photography, Service Design and Visual Communication, tackled projects on peer learning, loneliness, food waste, and international relations at RCA. We worked with Roland Harwood from Liminal and Johannes Mutter from neu.is to deliver the best learning experience possible.
