“Values to Vision” is a teacher-centered project designed to support educators in exploring their evolving pedagogies and articulating their core educational values through visual and cultural representation.
Rooted in the success of earlier initiatives like Playful Engineering-Based Learning (PEBL) and Kheldai Sikdai, this project is part of Dipeshwor's ongoing PhD research. Building on these foundations, “Values to Vision” aims to deepen the transformative potential of creative, value-driven education across Nepali schools.
This initiative invites a select group of committed teachers—many of whom have been active participants in past PEBL and Kheldai Sikdai programs—to reflect on their teaching practices and express their values through cultural motifs, visual design, and representational artifacts.
The themes explored throughout the project include:
We conducted six in-person Professional Development (PD) workshops, which served as creative and reflective spaces for teachers. Each workshop was carefully designed to:
These sessions culminated in a mini-conference, where each school showcased its final representational artifact and shared their insights with the broader educational community.
Through “Values to Vision,” we hope to create ripple effects across classrooms—where teachers feel seen, supported, and inspired. The artifacts created are not just design pieces—they are milestones in each teacher’s professional journey. These visual expressions offer a window into the values, beliefs, and aspirations that shape the learning environments we are working to build together.
