Training for schools
Education is extremely powerful when it enables creativity. For 15 years, we have been teaching creativity through Creativity Clubs and and CEL programmes in Kenya using our award-winning Creativity Education Model. Our former students have become successful innovators, entrepreneurs and leaders employed at top organisations.
This is the platform for schools to access our teaching resources and programmes and join our global community.
Creativity Clubs
At our Creativity Clubs, we use a combination of our art and creative thinking learning activities to challenge, stimulate and strengthen students' creativity.
Creativity for Entrepreneurship and Leadership (CEL)
On our CEL programme, students learn to innovate, that is, to apply their creativity in practice. We use the MASK 5-Step Practical Creativity framework to equip them with the tools, attitudes and abilities they need to solve real-life challenges. They improve their problem-solving and entrepreneurial skills, develop their leadership qualities, and increase their employability. They experience success and empowerment.
It starts here – how to join
In 2017, Kenya adopted the new Competence Based Curriculum that focuses on seven key competences, five of them being about creativity education – ‘Critical thinking and problem solving’, ‘Imagination and creativity’, ‘Learning to learn’, ‘Self-efficacy’, and ‘Communication and collaboration’.
Joining MASK today is your first step towards becoming a school that shows remarkable results in creativity education. It can help to advance your school leadership, standards for teachers and collaboration.
