Srishti Manipal Institute of Art, Design and Technology

From outside our environment the driving forces of change-be it for our curriculum, our pedagogy or ways of learning or in terms of defining competences-come from the edge; the edge is where new knowledge and new areas of focus emerge in the complex, ever changing world we live in! These bubbles of new ideas, new ways of engaging with our aspiring practitioners help us create a dynamic ecosystem of learning. As the aspirants move and navigate their own personal journeys within Srishti Manipal they emerge into the external world as independent, thoughtful, artistic and caring members of the community, sure of themselves and of their positions as creative practitioners.

Upstream is the source of our ideas and is located in the everyday, the universal, the enduring and the timeless.

Downstream is the confluence of the individual with the universe, of the practitioner with the world outside of practice and of the freedom to be.

Experience tells us that, each aspirant comes with hopes and fears and we work with each one on an individual scale enabling the painful process of “letting go” in order to let new practice, newer or more refined or nuanced ideas emerge- “letting come”

Fields of Practice represent the nature of the knowledge and its practical manifestation. Each Field of Practice defines clearly ways of learning as research or inquiry; experimental or intuitive; hands-on and skill based. Our Fields of Practice include:

Advanced Studies and Research Continuing Professional Practice Skill-based Vocational Education New Learner Pedagogies and Processes

While Fields of Practice sets the backdrop for our academic endeavors, the actual knowledge creation and development of practice are located under four clusters of intersection or domains. They are
