The third session of the Playshop International Collaborative Design Curriculum（originally "YOUNG to young International Collaborative Curriculum"）will be fully launched in 2021 at the School of Design and Innovation (SDI), China Academy of Art (CAA). Playshop is an international curriculum project of the third semester in SDI, which has last 2 years and also the first global joint teaching experiment in CAA, that attempts to reorganize students in different classes, which is different from our traditional teaching model. This year we will expand the Playshop to three grades for the first time, and nearly 1,200 students 45 international tutors to match 65domestic tutors 49 students from other universities will participate in an integrated teaching experiment, on-site exhibition, and design action. The international collaborative curriculum offered by School of Design & Innovation ofCAA is an supplementary course running through three school years (4 weeks eachyear). Differing from other conventional courses, it means to rise above the limitationsin the stage-by-stage, step-by-step and chapter-by-chapter teaching philosophy.Meanwhile a gaming instinct (German: Spieltrieb) teaching mode will be establishedand a correspondence between the three concepts in games— "Play," "One game," "Agame" and two key elements in teaching—methods and orientation would be set up.Besides, the new course also can be taken as a supplement and mapping to presentteaching contents. The new teaching mode named "Playshop" is an evolution from "Workshop." In Chineseit means "Come to Play," while the "gaming instinct" teaching method aims to cultivatethe sense of aesthetic and perception. "experiencing together, adventuring together and gaming together" will form a new teaching scenarios. In the process of gaming, the autonomy of art and life could be achieved at the same time, which is also a kindof self-education or -liberation. Then a new perceptual mechanism comes into being,from which a new spiritual temperament and different methods in shaping the sharedspace and world will arise. In nowadays art design education, disadvantages revealedby the old one-to-many teaching mode push us figure out a replacement. The modeof mutual questioning between the teaching and learning, reflecting together andcooperating with each other will bring about a breakthrough to design education in thefuture.
