CUP (Creative Urban Practice)

This program has involved participants in interdisciplinary projects such as mapping ecological hotspots, crafting illustrated activity maps of grasslands, and documenting oral histories of local culinary traditions. Each of these activities combines hands-on engagement with rigorous exploration, allowing learners to develop insights about the places. For instance, one of the projects focused on mapping Bidar’s ecological and cultural landscape. Participants co-created visual and narrative resources that not only reflected the region’s rich biodiversity but also emphasised its social and cultural histories, such as traditional health practices and step well systems.  

Our approach is guided by four key pillars:  

1. Collaborative Curriculum Design
2. Digital Learning Tools: Digital media
3. Skill-Building for Technical
4. Place-Based In-Situ Learning
