The Language of Creativity: Intergrating Intelligence, Inquiry, and Expression

Discovering New Artists, as a life-time member of Western Union Foundation and Watson Institute, Colorado, USA, and with support from HBL Pakistan, is proud to bring another transformative one-day training workshop for art educators and creatives in Lahore, Pakistan. Building on the success of last year’s training, this year’s workshop takes a deeper dive into equipping teachers with the knowledge and strategies to cultivate creativity more holistically in the classroom.

Through interactive sessions led by distinguished trainers, educators will explore how to develop students’ creative capacity, learn to recognize their multiple intelligences, and engage them through the language of materials and art as inquiry. By integrating these approaches, educators will be empowered to move beyond traditional instruction and nourish curiosity, imagination, and critical thinking.

This year’s workshop continues to welcome teachers from both private schools and community organizations, creating an inclusive learning environment that bridges diverse communities. Aligned with DNA’s mission, the program ensures that educators from all backgrounds have access to innovative methodologies that make art education a powerful tool for personal growth, self-expression, and lifelong learning.
