A Rubbish Trip

Could rubbish be more interesting than stuff? Absolutely! Galvanise your team and clients with fresh perspectives on waste and the circular economy. Ponder the future of materials in the context of London’s fascinating history as a city built from trash.
A Genius Tour
Central London
Follow in the footsteps of luminaries who’ve been struck by inspiration while walking London’s streets. Take a tour through the stages of the creative process. Unlearn unhelpful myths about genius to help build your team’s creative confidence. Experiment with taking off your everyday filters and sleuthing for inspiration in the least expected places. End on a trail of failure, and a battle between two great painters, to see what we can learn about bouncing back.
The tour can be between two and five hours, and includes the opportunity to experiment with strategies. The longer version includes more exercises and discussion tailored to your needs, and can be split into two parts with lunch in between.
