Year 2

INTRODUCTION

After being introduced to a lot of tools and methods, and a lot of new knowledge about yourself, the second year at the KaosPilots is the time to use all that you have learned during the last year, not just with your teammates, but when interacting with the outside world on our own.

It is often a challenging time because implementing and perfecting our learning in new settings forces us to open up to a lot of new reflections, while also digesting the old ones, but it is an eye-opening experience to do so.

The third semester at the KaosPilot program is concerned with deepening your understanding and skill set concerning Creative Process Design. You will learn to be able to perform as a process consultant and design processes for change in cooperation with a client.

The fourth semester is what is referred to as the Outpost, where you will go to a creative hotspot somewhere else in the world, together with your team. In this new context you learn to see new perspectives of your learning so far, and you will work on different projects with international partners, meaning you will have to navigate in a new sort of chaos. The idea is that these experiences will add another layer to the program, and subsequently allow you to grow further.
