POP-UP SCHOOLS

Our Pop-up Schools take place in various locations around the world. Designed to unlock creative potential, the curriculum is built around a series of workshops which incorporate hands-on learning and prototyping.

The week-long workshops are facilitated by international experts who teach how to practice design thinking processes, embrace new technologies, and accelerate innovation.

The professionals, entrepreneurs and educators who participate come from a wide variety of backgrounds and cultures. This generates discussions around emerging challenges and presents an excellent opportunity to network.
We will provide announcements and updates about up and coming Pop-Up Schools here on our website, and also via  LinkedIn and on Instagram.

The Pop-Up School workshops are open to all and places are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Each workshop requires a minimum number of participants to run. We recommend not booking flights until the class is confirmed. In the case that a workshop does not go ahead, we will offer a full refund or the possibility to transfer the space to a future date.
