Creativity naturally promotes divergent and transversal thinking by connecting learning and experiences across the curriculum and beyond the classroom. The ability to think creatively is a valuable life skill, applicable to all professions, even those not yet invented!
Thinking critically and creatively is at the start of any innovation. Every advancement known to mankind started with a new idea, a new perspective. New ideas are inspired by curiosity, imagination and creativity.
Creativity cultivates collaboration and inclusion. It fosters a sense of connection within teams to learn from each other and to share experiences. Creativity is an active process and promotes a sense of togetherness.
Understanding how an issue affects individuals or communities is an integral part of the creative process. This requires us to imagine a situation from different points of view and develop empathy as we create solutions to meet the needs of others.
Having the ability to visualise solutions that do not even exist yet allows you to think B!G. The creative process advocates for exploration without boundaries, balanced with the practical ability and know how to provide the needed solutions.
When we are creative we are challenging ourselves, challenging our assumptions and immersing ourselves in a creative journey. All of which support positive mental health through feelings of connectedness and purpose.
Creativity asks us to be inquisitive, to question the status quo and to explore new and better ways to do things. In learning how to question and to work creatively through a problem we are developing essential and adaptable life skills.
Creativity is inherently multidisciplinary, allowing you to communicate your creative thinking through different mediums; Visual, written, story telling, conversation, presentations - the important part is to communicate the why!
Creativity celebrates safe failure, it gives us the chance to learn from mistakes, understand them and develop better outcomes. Creativity builds courage, persistence, resilience and the confidence to take on B!G challenges.
