Getting Creative
This workshop combines creative theory with practice and offers the oportunity for participants, not just to understand their own creativity better, but learn to create optimal condition for creativity when working individually and in teams. They will learn to challenge their natural thought patterns and habits and increase their ability to think creatively. We will work in small teams and use practical hands-on exercises and creativity tools to identify some of the most common pitfalls in creative problem solving and learn how to overcome them. Unlike what many people think, it can be very important to work structured when working creativity.
