the final version of the tutorpack is online. we intend to increase the content, concerning theme, location info and especially essays, as a collaboration with the future umbrella people. the additions should be the bulletins mentioned in the easa-guide.

so this is a call for essays! read alex' essay in the tutorpack and get excited to write your own. it doesn't need to follow the narrative style, just give it your own shape for us to get the biggest possible diversity! a swiss essay is coming up for sure, some more would be great! treat the topic "trans - transit - transition" from your point of view: give us your personal look at the development of the cities in your country, at the flows and traffics of goods, knowledge and ideas in europe, at the change of settlement structures due to infrastructural interventions, at your very personal urban sprawl, traffic system evolutions in your country!!!

concerning umbrella-paraply-parapluie: to continue the tradition concerning the name, we thought of calling it officially in raeto-romanian, the official 4th language of switzerland spoken in the area around bergün by 1% of the swiss population (70'000 people) and nowhere else in the world. so the name is gonna be para-plöfscha. if there are any heavy protests concerning unpronounceability, let us know!!!

best wishes and greetings
