This year, the Créagir interdisciplinary workshop at HES-SO Geneva is collaborating with the Force Motrice collective on issues related to the urban development of the Rhône riverbanks.

The topic proposed to students concerns enhancing the Rhône and its uses, in connection with the surrounding neighbourhoods. The Rhône, the backbone of the city, is both a link between people and a border at the heart of Geneva.

58 students from 12 different programmes at Geneva’s universities of applied sciences are working collaboratively and interprofessionally in service of the transition of this area. The reflections and projects submitted must be connected to current concerns along the Rhône and take into account the challenges of tomorrow.

As part of the Créagir 26–27 session, the aim is to open up imaginaries and let students propose alternative and complementary visions to projects already underway. Deliverables are expected in January 2027.
