INTER-DISCIPLINARY PROJECT THEME: International Year of Creative Economy for Sustainable Development CLASS IX Inter-disciplinary Project allows the student to learn by making connections between ideas and concepts across different disciplinary boundaries. Students learning in this way are able to apply the knowledge gained in one discipline to another different discipline as a way to deepen the learning experience. One of the major benefits of an interdisciplinary project is that the learners use and develop their critical thinking skills as they begin to consolidate learning by synthesising ideas from many perspectives. This approach is sure to foster a love for life-long learning, ignite a spark of enthusiasm and cater to diverse learner interests. In 2019 at the 74th session of UN General Assembly, 2021 was declared the International Year of Creative Economy for Sustainable Development The creative economy has no single definition. It is an evolving concept which builds on the interplay between human creativity and ideas and intellectual property, knowledge and technology. Essentially, it is the knowledge-based economic activities upon which the ‘creative industries’ are based. The creative industries – which include advertising, architecture, arts and crafts, design, fashion, film, video, photography, music, performing arts, publishing, research & development, software, computer games, electronic publishing, and TV/radio – are the building blocks of the creative economy. Today, the creative industries are among the most dynamic sectors in the world economy, providing new opportunities for developing countries to leapfrog into emerging high- growth areas of the world economy. Since, life skill education is an important life force in the evolution of the creative industries, we believe that our learners must be trained at a young age as capable job creators, rather than job seekers, which is the global need of the future. The multitude of activities is designed to create a powerful learning experience and prioritize integrative learning, thinking, and creative problem solving. This summer, the most awaited Art Integrated Interdisciplinary Project is designed in such a way so as to ignite a passion for discovery and experimentation in the learners, while the utmost care has been taken to ensure a safe and healthy learning experience for our most treasured learners. Stay healthy, stay safe! The holiday assignment 2021 is designed to enhance self-learning. There is no task which requires material to be purchased or detailed research. It will keep children gainfully occupied. Health & family are paramount. Please take good care. Hoping the summer break is a time of healing for all.
