It focuses on creating unconventional educational environments and methodologies that resist traditional pedagogical models. Through its unique methodology, Ways & Workings (W&W), SOC connects diverse themes, methods, and environments into a navigational framework. This methodology emphasizes reappropriation and adaptability, enabling its principles to be applied beyond the school's context, promoting inclusive and critical learning practices. SOC's Themes cover a range of topics, from "Radical Sharing" and "Hydrofeminism" to "Critical Healing" and "Dialogic Decolonial Pedagogic Practice," while its Methods include collaborative and performative practices such as "Live Action Role-Playing" and "Worlding." SOC also emphasizes specific Environments—social, virtual, or physical—like "Deep Hanging Out" and "EtherPort" to facilitate learning. Overall, the school prioritizes experimentation, non-hierarchical knowledge exchange, and the cultivation of new educational spaces.
