Just hosted a Learning to Fail workshop with my brilliant co-facilitator Niamh at the Global Culture Jam @GCJManMet. Lovely atmosphere, lovely participants - a successful workshop and productive learning space! #GCJam21
Day 2 on Creativity strand - we are mind mapping, responding, and creating stories! And we're doing that just by exploring mundane, everyday objects! It's so fun! :)
#GCJam21#GCJCreativity
We've just had another great live session on the #GCJCommunity strand of #gcjam21. Amazing inputs/provocations from the super talented @JoKateJenkinson talking about her collaborative youth projects. Great participants from across the globe too! @ManMetRise
Thank you to everyone who took part in todays global culture jam. What an amazing conversation about how we present ourselves through dress in online and offline spaces. @GCJManMet@chrissinerantzi#GCJCommunity#GCJam21
On day 2 of #GCJCommunity Jo Jenkinson - Reader and Deputy Head at the Manchester Fashion Institute!
Talking, reflecting on identity! What represents us? What is self-styling? #GCJam21
@DrBenjaminWild a big thank you @NeilC and all our students for this powerful exploration into the world of costume(s) in the context of togetherness and community #GCJam21#GCJcommunity
One of the activities from the first Community strand session! Free-flowing word responses to 'costume'.
Today we reflected on the sense of connection with others - through costume and dress. #GCJam21#GCJCommunity#GCJam21Community
@NeilC @DrBenjaminWild @ManMetRise ... what we wear and what this tells us... fascinating exploration with Ben, Neil and all. Wondering also about misinterpretations... and implications #GCJam21#gcjcommunity
@DrBenjaminWild is doing a thought provoking talk #GCJCommunity as part of the #gcjam21. Is costume different from everyday 'dress'? In what ways is dress and dressing an enactment of politics? Dress as a semiotic landscape. @ManMetRise
LEARNING:
This strand asks what is an international curriculum, and how does this relate to the curriculum you are experiencing? Should it be different? Students will learn about formal and informal learning as well as fixed and individually curated learning.
