The objective of this course is, to activate the creative-self in order to improve the professional-self. An important part of the training is the documentation of the creative process, and to present the artworks online.
Description:
This course invites participants to explore creativity by engaging directly with nature through diverse artistic techniques. We will examine the working methods of inspiring artists and experiment with digital tools, such as Adobe Express, to enhance visual storytelling. The principles of Design Thinking will be at the heart of the artworks produced, which will be shared both physically and digitally. This experience will help teachers empathise with their learners. Teachers will have the opportunity to step out of their comfort zones and learn through experience, which will enrich their teaching repertoire.
Aims and objectives:
The program is designed to strengthen creativity through complex, hands-on experiences that encourage long-term professional growth. It supports participants in integrating artistic practice into their teaching, enriching their methodological repertoire. At the same time, it fosters self-expression as a pathway to holistic pedagogical renewal, while also offering art-making as a means of stress relief and burnout prevention.
Learning outcomes:
By the end of the course, participants will have developed transferable pedagogical skills such as abstraction, synthesis and reflection. As well as achieving specific artistic outcomes, they will benefit from an enriching creative process that fosters personal growth, resilience, and a more dynamic approach to pedagogy. Participants will also develop a website to showcase their progress.
