Student Workshop

A City in a Day: enabling creative thinking through making and imagination
 

In partnership with the Royal College of Art (RCA), Gary Clough – practicing artist, international education consultant and Head of RCA Programme – guided students as they created “A city in a day”. This immersive workshop’s premise is based on the creative and imaginative potential of the humble cardboard box. Using student-centred learning models which the UK is globally admired and copied for, Gary and his team engaged various Dubai-based learners to create and investigate the “Four Ages of the City” using carboard. 

Through this workshop, participants investigated how creativity can be enabled through action-based teaching and learning approaches which can be embedded and can encourage creativity in primary and early secondary learners’ curriculum.
