A Design Adventure ー Children Wear Culture 

Join a Creative Journey That Blends Fashion,
Culture, and Self-Discovery

Borderless Design School, renowned for its global creative programs, returns to Dubai
with a new and immersive workshop.

In this special experience, children will dive into the world of traditional Arab fashion and
create their own miniature costume — a unique
cultural expression crafted by their own hands.

Presented in partnership with the Dubai Culture & Arts Authority, the Emirate’s official cultural institution,
this event invites young creators to experience
the joy of designing across cultures.

Following successful workshops around the world— including previous sessions in Dubai —
this interactive class will now take place
at the Al Jalila Cultural Centre for Children.

Rooted in the Japanese philosophy of “Onko Chishin” — learning from the past to inspire the future — this program nurtures the power of creativity,
helping children honour tradition
while expressing their modern sensibilities.

Big Smiles, Bold Designs!

Our Philosophy 
Design + Culture = Learning What It Means to Be Human


At Borderless Design School, we believe design is more than just technique — it's a way for children to explore who they are and how they see the world.

Through creative expression, they learn to understand different cultures, think with flexibly, and imagine new possibilities.In these workshops, children connect the wisdom of the past with their own ideas to shape something truly original.Every class is interactive, joyful, and safe — a place where children can confidently express themselves.

We believe that when learning and fun combine, this leaves a powerful impression on young minds and helps shape futures.
