On Monday 1 June, Mulberry Academy London Dock proudly launched the Gensler Belonging Project, an exciting new design initiative developed in partnership with Gensler.
The project offers students a unique opportunity to design and create their own lampshades inspired by the theme of belonging, encouraging creativity, collaboration and student voice through the design process.
The launch began with a special kick-off assembly led by Principal Christopher Harvey, who introduced students to the project and shared the exciting journey ahead. Students also had the opportunity to visit the Gensler offices, where they experienced a professional design environment first-hand and gained insight into the work of architects and designers.
Through the Gensler Belonging Project, students will work alongside industry professionals, developing creative ideas while building valuable practical design skills. The initiative reflects our commitment to providing meaningful learning experiences that connect the classroom to the wider world and inspire students to explore future pathways within the creative industries.
We are incredibly grateful to Gensler and all staff supporting the project for making this inspiring opportunity possible for our students, and we look forward to seeing the creativity and ideas that emerge throughout the programme.
