Creative Spark or how to develop a fashion industry in Kazakhstan

On November 5 - 7, 2019 Almaty Management University launched the second series of workshops on teaching entrepreneurship in the framework of the British Council's Creative Spark: Higher Education Enterprise Program project. This year, fashion residents of Almaty Technological University, and T.K. Zhurgenov Kazakh National Academy of Arts joined the partnership as beneficiaries.

At the two-day master class, teachers and resident students of the project had a unique opportunity to get advice from the best UK marketers.

Students attended to master classes on topics in design thinking and generating ideas, and also attended a video pitch training. This training will help teams competently present their projects in a limited time at various competitions.

After the end of the master class, the top 10 were selected among the participating teachers. They were fortunate enough to attend a fashion breakfast with Caroline Lloyd and Sandy Macdonald, speakers from Northampton University, where in an informal setting they could ask questions of interest to them, get advice and recommendations.

On the last day, November 7, the event participants took part in Creative Almaty Day “Accessories and Jewelry Industry”, organized jointly with NarXoz University.

At the end of the second day, the results were summed up and certificates were issued.
