Possible Studio programs

Green Juice

3-day or 5-day
Senior high school and undergraduate groups of 15-30
Cross-disciplinary groups especially welcomed
No prior creative experience required

This program is a fun and fluid blend of nature and design based experiential learning. Fast-paced field work, experiments and challenges will lead students to make parallel connections outside in the environment, and within and between themselves, feeding their creative confidence. It’s an immersive adventure into the nature of creativity, discovering wild diversity, interplay and invention in Green School’s abundant ecosystem and sustainability model, while hacking our own creativity code – the unique talents written into each of us.

Design Think Camp

7-day or 10-day
Senior high school and undergraduate groups of 15-30
Cross-disciplinary groups especially welcomed
No prior creative experience required

Students get immersed and step into local shoes to quickly create tangible solutions to real-world challenges identified in the community, connecting to systemic issues such as transport, education, food and energy. The journey travels the length of our design thinking roadmap through overlapping stages of discovery, modelling, defining, ideating, prototyping and evolving. It’s a pathway out of our comfort zone into the innovation space. Students will make use of a unique set of tools and methods for leveraging their natural energies and the environment to get attuned to people and situations, unravel complex issues, and create collaboratively.

Features of our pilot program we’re keen to continue included a weekend occupation of the school’s most inspiring spaces and daily sessions adding to a collaborative weblog – check out the story told with participating students from Singapore’s Republic Polytechnic.

Green Makers Workshop

4-day or 7-day
Senior high school and undergraduate groups of 15-30
Hands-on creative experience required



Green School’s architecture and holistic design hinges on a combination of vision, expertise and tacit know-how. The model asks to be replicated and furthered. In the same spirit this workshop brings unique cross-cultural exchange and skills building to bear on realising design projects, either brought by participating groups or responding to local proposals (including any taken forward from Design Think Camp). Current provision is for students in engineering, architecture and spatial design, product design, games design and typography. With the help of guest facilitators and some of Bali’s most gifted of artisans and makers, students can get hands-on practice in focus areas such as sustainable architecture, bamboo construction, biomimicry, mobile structures, Green games and more.

Bali has attracted many proponents of sustainable design, not least Buckminster Fuller and Victor Papanek who lived on the island and drew inspiration from traditional craft practice close to nature and the divine. Our longer programs can connect with their stories.

Social Problem Makers

7-day or 10-day
Undergraduate groups of 8-20
Cross-disciplinary groups especially welcomed
Hands-on creative experience required

This program is a collaboration between Possible Studio and Y Hub, a new centre of excellence for non-profits and social enterprises solving some of Bali’s toughest health and education problems. The journey will provide students with an immersive experience in social changemaking and the opportunity to join non-profit leaders, their staff, volunteers and beneficiaries out in the field. Interspaced studio sessions for both students and non-profit teams will deliver training in media skills and deep enquiry methods to capture and reflect on the social challenge engaged by the organization.

Facilitators will coach students as they call on visualization and storytelling to creatively reframe, reconstruct and play back their studied social problem to the non-profit team and to an international audience – in doing so helping to forward the organization’s mission. Students will emerge with an awareness of how they can contribute to communities at home or abroad through the mindset they bring.

For best effect we aim to run programs over the weekend, ending on a Monday. Possible Studio itineraries are shaped in collaboration with group leaders and their faculties and a tailored and meaningful experience is a given!
