Date: Wednesday 17th June 2009
Time: 10.00am to 1.00pm
Location: Trinity College Dublin – School of Nursing and Midwifery, D’Olier
Street, room 10.1
This workshop will examine a variety of ways of embedding creativity within
higher education settings. Bronfenbrenner’s ecological framework will be
used to suggest that creative individuals act on their environment, and that
the environment dynamically influences individuals and groups to seize
creative educational opportunities.
Using a series of interactive activities and tools, the place of creativity
in higher education will be explored by:
- the critical examination of current educational philosophies and values
- considering innovative ways of working within higher education institutions and systems
- developing flexibility in higher education programmes
- indexing creativity within subject domains and disciplines
- encouraging divergence and creative thinking in higher education
teachers and students.
