“Creativity can solve almost any problem. The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything” George Lois
I just went to a great seminar on creativity, hosted by the Campaign for Learning. As well as being inspiring, I also got the chance to meet lots of people who are embracing creativity in their professional lives - very refreshing! There was plenty of opportunity for networking, and I’ve since made some really supportive and positive connections with other participants.
The day was split up into sections, with different activities and speakers. This was good because it kept us feeling alert and awake! There was even 10 minutes of drumming which was very energetic!
A really good idea was having people there to facilitate different discussions on creativity. There were 6 sessions to choose from, and spaces for one in the morning and one in the afternoon. This allowed people to follow their own interests, and allowed for us each to customise our day slightly. I’ll definitely use this idea in one of my own workshops!
The venue was great, with an outdoor area, plenty of support from the CFL staff, and fantastic food as well! Top marks!
