Theme 1: Art for Earth
This summer, we dive into the questions: “How can art protect the Earth?” and “How can art connect communities?” Using sustainable techniques, we create our own natural paints and explore art’s power to inspire change.
Building on our Living in Harmony camp, we take creativity outdoors - enjoying the lake, visiting the Kunsthaus, exploring a Graffiti Park, and discovering the Enea Tree Museum in Rapperswil. We celebrate the connection between art, nature, and community.
Theme 2: Biomimicry! Problem-Solving Inspired by Nature.
This summer, we dive into the design and production of materials, structures, and systems that are modelled on biological entities and processes.
How would we do it?
Through Projects
Learn the 5 steps of the Design Thinking process through hands-on projects in our sustainable maker space.
Through Play
Foster an interest in learning, empathy, diversity, critical thinking, and a creative mindset THROUGH GAMES and fun. We are on summer holidays after all!
Through Excursions
We learn about our local community to build the foundation for global thinking. Explore local sustainability mindset topics like CULTURAL DIVERSITY and BIODIVERSITY (Animal Shelter, FIFA museum, local playgrounds, FARMS, etc)*
Become an empathetic explorer, a systems thinker, a problem-solver, and a change-maker
