Schools often prioritize speed and accuracy, but true innovation thrives on creativity and divergent thinking. This session will challenge the traditional focus on "correct answers" and explore practical strategies to cultivate a more creative and imaginative learning environment. Through engaging hands-on activities, participants will discover protocols designed to stimulate divergent thinking that can be used in both classroom and professional learning settings. By tapping into our curiosity, combining unrelated ideas, and thinking outside the box, we can empower those whom we work with to become innovative problem-solvers and critical thinkers. Join me as we explore how to foster a culture of creativity and innovation that can help us tackle the challenges and harness the opportunities of today’s world.
