About this event
Our children desperately need to develop the skill of creative thinking as they inherit a world where they will be expected to navigate unprecedented change, solve wicked problems, manage uncertainty, and grapple with ambiguity. The task of nurturing a creative thinker can seem daunting and it can be difficult to know where to begin. In this interactive session, we shall introduce 5 opportunities for paving the way forward as you raise a creative thinker.
As a result of this workshop, participants will:
- Have a clearer vision of what success looks like and why it matters
- Create a short-term plan to meet their long-term goals
- Consider how they will continue to evolve and grow in their role as creative parents
This will be an interactive working session and participants will need to be able to take notes and share audio and video during the session.
This event is FREE in celebration of World Creativity and Innovation Week and hosted by Creativity and Education.
