“I took part in the Creative Hospitality course. Jennie approached teaching in a way I found thoughtful and novel. The classroom atmosphere was different in a lovely way, avoiding the restrictive energy of a formal lecture, while still maintaining focus and in depth learning. It felt dynamic, allowing for us to spend more time exploring aspects that were particularly relevant or exciting to the group. We had the opportunity to explore the concepts on the course through a mix of discussion, exercises, presentations, and experiments - this really helped me to appreciate different aspects of each topic and stay engaged.

“Jennie presented us with a huge amount of information, considering the short course length, including extra resources online that we could access ourselves. I felt I got a good introduction to different aspects of hospitality, in a way that felt connected and intuitive. Additionally, I felt the prior knowledge each course participant brought to the classroom was valued, and there was room for each persons voice.

“I felt very supported in completing the final brief, and really enjoyed getting to experience everyone else’s projects in the last sessions.

“Overall I really enjoyed the course, and I feel like it gave me a new lens to use in my practice.

“I honestly had the best time taking part in the Creative Hospitality course. It exceeded traditional pedagogy in every way this was an active, alive, and hands-on learning experience. Jennie was an incredibly kind and warm teacher who created an exciting and genuinely generative environment. Each class introduced completely new and enriching material, and it felt like everyone was equally invested in what we were learning and working toward. The atmosphere was safe, friendly, and open a place where we could test ideas, share thoughts, and explore our creativity without hesitation. I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to take this course, and I plan to continue expanding on everything I learned. I hope to stay in contact with everyone who was part of this wonderful experience.
