Our first I-TELL Show and Tell webinar set a strong foundation for the series, bringing colleagues together to explore practical approaches that strengthen learning, creativity, and student belonging.

Tony Morgan from Leeds University opened the session with an engaging overview of diverge and converge techniques. His focus was how structured creative processes can support more equitable classroom experiences, giving every student a clear route to contribute, build confidence, and shape ideas with purpose.

Clare McTurk from Manchester Fashion Institute shared the work she is leading on Education for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals. Her examples demonstrated how sustainability can be woven into studio and academic practices in a way that inspires purpose, impact, and a strong sense of belonging for students preparing to enter the creative industries.

I closed the session by outlining how I use Retrieval Practice to help learners secure foundational and disciplinary knowledge. The aim is to create the cognitive space for richer experiential work, where students can apply their knowledge, explore ideas, and build creative confidence.
