• that will make game design and development accessible to teachers and students,

• promoting transcultural and trans-disciplinary 'learning by designing’

Key deliverables:

• Adaptable/adoptable CreativeCulture Lab blueprint and toolkits to be developed and validated,

• ambassadors/champions from the pilot locations to be identified and trained and

• an online Hub that will host the CreativeCulture resources (tools, case studies, game-based outcomes from the community) to be developed.

Objective 2

To design and implement participatory studies, involving the local, rural and indigenous communities in Malaysian Borneo (learners and teachers). 2 stages:

• The final pilot participatory study in the different sites in Sarawak, involving larger number of stakeholders and participants.

Key deliverables:

• CreativeCulture Lab to be carried out as an extra-curricular at the telecentres,

• Feasibility studies carried out to inform the larger scale deployment in stage 2.

Objective 3

To facilitate, capture and evaluate

• experience,

• learning outcomes and

• transferability of the creative approach towards refining the adaptable CreativeCultureblueprints

Key deliverables:

• Analysis of lessons learnt and

• Finalised CreativeCulture Lab blueprint(s) for adoption and adaptation.
