Looking back to KSS 2024

In its inaugural run from 21 – 28 April, 2024, the Krea Summer School Programme (KSS) at Krea University welcomed a diverse cohort of over 25 students from grades 9-12 for a thoughtfully curated week-long residential experience.

Through its two engaging programmes, Hide and Seek and The World Around Us, KSS ventured beyond the confines of conventional school subjects, delving into a spectrum of established and cutting-edge fields of study. As students embarked on this immersive journey of academics and experiential workshops, they were treated to an insightful preview of the vast realms awaiting them in higher education.

This programme will take students on a journey of making and discovering patterns in the world around us. What kind of communication happens in social media, in films, in mythology?
