Crayola has named the first-ever cohort for its Global Ambassador Program as part of the upcoming Crayola Creativity Week. This initiative has designated 31 international schools, which were chosen from over 1,200 applicants across 11 nations, to act as exemplars for incorporating creative practices into educational environments.
The Global Ambassador Program commemorates the fifth annual Crayola Creativity Week, a free digital event running from January 26th to February 1st that is already slated to involve educational institutions from the majority of countries worldwide. The selected ambassador schools will disseminate their methods and experiences, providing actionable strategies for weaving creativity into various academic disciplines, while Crayola will utilize their feedback to enhance future offerings.
Throughout the week, participants globally will engage in daily themed activities that connect hands-on projects with literacy, STEAM, and emotional learning, supported by multilingual resources and presentations from notable creative figures.
