#1 · INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS COMOOC NY?
COMOOC is a meeting place to promote research, creativity, culture and community
An international and intercultural encounter between people with common educational and social interests that starts from a question: What can we think, research, do, create, play and activate in common? A space in which we will experience an educational and cultural praxis with a proactive and hopeful character. A think tank for dialogue and creation. Our COMOOC will be held in New York, at the City College of New York in October 2023.
