Thereby, we present an in-depth analysis of two student projects that emerged from this collaborative course. In contemporaneity, many disciplines, including arts and design, and their various practices, transform to adapt to the newly forming space of multidisciplinary collaboration and its in-herent shared responsibility. As educators and design students, we advocate for the invaluable input of collaboration during these times. We deem it essential to promote multidisciplinary thinking in groups within the educational context, promoting individual strength. To provide a comprehensive understanding of all fields included in this study, workshops, and crash courses were organized to engage the students with the different disciplines. During these courses, students also got the chance to become acquainted with each other, which later helped them build their groups, integrating a student from each field. Apart from structured courses, students were independent in organizing their schedules in order to develop their performances. Throughout this study, students gained embodied knowledge of shared responsibility in multidisciplinary teams, which also allowed them to develop expertise within their own fields.
