Creativity events
All our normal
training events can be provided for school staff at our charity discount
rates - drop us an email for further
details. We also have a bite sized (1 to 1.5 hour event) specially
designed for school teachers:
CREATIVITY IN THE
CLASSROOM - an inspiring look at creativity techniques and exercises
that can be used in the classroom, including an opportunity to assess
why you want to bring creativity into the classroom and an
introduction to the nature of creativity and how creativity techniques
work.
Our events for school
and college students are designed to bring out the creative edge in
attendees. They're packed with action and activity. Current talks include:
ANYONE CAN DO IT –
What does it take to make a book? This highly interactive session comes
in a variety of forms tailored for children and students of all ages
from reception to sixth form. It explores what is involved from
obtaining the first idea to producing and distributing the book and
making translations. There’s lots of activity and inspiration along the
way.
MAPPING YOUR MIND – A
beginners guide to using cognitive maps like Tony Buzan's Mindmap to
structure thoughts, take notes and get a whole new view on information.
Light, fun and interactive.
THE IDEA MACHINE - We
are all natural idea machines, but we don't come with a user manual.
This fun session introduces the students to creativity techniques they
can use to come up with new ideas, whether it's for an essay subject, to
start their own business or simply for something different to do in
their spare time.
WHAT'S IN YOUR HEAD?
- Where do ideas come from? How do our brains come up with original
thoughts - and why don't they always work? It's all in your head.
EENY, MEENY, MINY, MO
- We all make choices all the time, but how do we do it - and how can we
do it better? Whether you're choosing what subject to take at university
or deciding what to spend your allowance on, this interactive guide to
decisions and choice can make all the difference. MEMORIES
- most of us struggle with memory. But in this fun, interactive talk there's a
chance to learn a little about how memory works and try out some practical
techniques that will help you remember people's names, numbers and lists of
information. It's a talk you can't fail to remember.
STUDYING
USING THE WEB -
Anyone can type a few keywords into a search engine and
slavishly copy out the results. Based on Brian’s upcoming book
Studying Using the Web, this interactive session demonstrates how to
find the right material, check its authenticity, transform it into your
own original work and keep up-to-date on essential topics.
