Young People to Think Creatively in the Digital Age

Research note that the increase of creative society determines the success of both the economic and social development of society. While creativity is one of the most important attributes in the modern world that helps build a successful society, in traditional education programs, the development of creativity is not given enough attention. The need for creativity in society and individuals is reflected in increasing life instability and crisis such as COVID-19, where a creative approach can help cope with the new demands of life.

Specifically, the project focus on youth trainers at non-formal education institution. Those should be able to look at their work creatively themselves as well as to encourage young people´s creativity. 

Within the two years project the partnership will develop a Methodology for youth trainers as well as an Online learning course supporting teaching creativity and graphic design in non-formal education.

Online course is available at powerofcreativity.eu

20.07.2022 Power of Creativity week in Prague!


From the 18th July to 22nd July 2022 a creative workshop took place in Prague. All four international teams (Lithuania, Cyprus, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic) got together at the Hotel Michael surrounded by lovely nature. Throughout the whole week all four international teams worked together in order to explore four hot topics and brainstormed some ideas. The topics included active citizenships, social inclusion, activities for young people and art and graphic design. .

The youth worked in mixed groups. The workshop also involved practical lessons on graphic design and creative thinking and fun energizers to get us into the spirit of working together. .

In the international café the participants brainstormed many different ideas, from which 13 were picked. Then the youth voted for their favourite and four out these thirteen were chosen in a fair election. The mixed teams then started to work on these ideas and will continue during the following 3 months.

During the week the participants gained knowledge in graphic design as well as in current social affairs. Common social activities brought everyone together and they learned about one another and got first-hand experience of multicultural diversity. We left Prague in high spirits and full of exciting experiences and creative ideas.
