Practitioners is a flexible programme component in BEAR 2, 3 and 4 that is shaped in a dialogue between student and teacher. Each semester, students sign up for a series of four or five meetings with a teacher (the practitioner) of their choice. Practitioners can give tutorial support to students and/or provide specialised knowledge, for instance about materials and techniques. The working format is decided upon in conversa- tion and can include, besides individual tutorials, group conver- sations, excursions and activities in the workshops.
