Description

This is not a common course about Creative Thinking, but a positive mindshake to help open your mind to what is possible and make you question what you usually take for granted. A course focused on exploring possibilities.

Through 11 sessions you will journey to a broader view about Creativity in a very easy way. Each session has a theme that is developed in 4 to 7 short videos, plus a summary-video, so your attention stays focused all the time. You will have 3,5 hours of videos, in total, that you can watch according to your needs. You will also find quizzes and experiential activities after each of the sessions, including lots of additional resources that you can explore (links to videos, articles, book references). Plus, you will have the instructor available to reply to all your questions at least twice per week.

This course will be mostly focused on the person, as the basis of the Creative Thinker. The majority of the content is centered on the structure any creative person should have before starting to create: consciousness, ability to think big, unconstrained perspective, openness to inspiration and to relationships.

We will also focus on practical aspects of the creative process: its different steps and phases, some of the most used techniques to generate and systematize ideas and the most common blocks on creativity including suggestions to overcome them.

Finally, we will explore contexts where you can apply your creative thinking. It can be in your own personal life, or in the society that surrounds you, from your closer circle to your neighborhood or country.

The course is taught through examples and personal stories from the Portuguese instructor, illustrating scientific research in an easy to understand way. At the end, you will probably feel that you belong to her creative tribe, too. And the course gets better and better, so don't judge it for the first sessions.

Take all the inspiration, insights and techniques you can from this course and start changing your world. It is all in your hands just waiting for you to open your mind and embrace the creative thinker inside you!

Who this course is for:

  • The General public, from teachers to housewives, students to entrepreneurs. This course was initially created for 18-21 year old young adults. Nevertheless, we believe that the course focuses on several transversal properties that should be developed in every human being in order to be able to think creatively. Therefore, it is open and available for everyone. The language is easy to follow and the contents are applied to the workplace, to education in general, and to adult daily life.Though the main target of the course is not highly creative people, some of the sessions may be very useful as reminders of important aspects often forgotten or taken for granted. Additionally, the contents can serve for systematizing ideas they may already have.
