Imaginations Cross Cultures

Committed to Community Engagement we established our non-profit Imaginations Cross Cultures.

Imaginations outset is to foster greater cross-cultural understanding between young people through creative co-creations across professions, ages and national borders. Activities are focused on making full scale creative responses to how our built environment can best reflect and foster a local cultural identity & better civil society.

Our Summer Schools are catalysts for change where thoughts and ideas are shared and shaped by the future generation. The methodology is based on teamwork, hands-on working, and encouraging open-ended discussions to spark curiosity & grow ideas which can flourish & be harvested by local communities. So far, we have conducted summer schools as far spread as Asia, Middle East and Europe involving over 15 academic institutions. More than 200 students, educators and alumni’s of more than 30 nationalities have joined our schools, and even more have visited the exhibitions.
