About Poiesis
Creative thinking is a crucial cognitive skill in our rapidly changing world. It enables us to adapt, tackle challenges, and seize opportunities in our dynamic environment.
Inspired by the Greek term “Poiesis,” meaning creation, our festival celebrates the inherent creativity within each individual. It serves as a reminder that creativity thrives within us all, waiting to be unleashed.
Through Poiesis, students have an exceptional platform to exercise their imagination, learn and infuse every endeavour with a creative touch.
