Evoke your Creativity

The training course will take place in Restaurant Maksimir that is situated in beautifull Park-Wood Maksimir in Zagreb, capital of Croatia.

During afternoons and evenings we will “swarm” out across the whole city of Zagreb to the most attractive and suitable pockets and places to work and learn.

Evoke your creativity is an experiential six days course about creativity in action, rapid innovation and deep presence.  The approach is founded on 4 P (Person, Process, Product and Press) theory.

This course employs the magic of a group, working together, learning together, providing service, support and feedbacks with each other, being active, but guided and protected. One topic, the same process, an individual approach. 

The fundamental longing of humans is to express themselves; the fundamental human ability is creativity. Expression can have different forms and needs a variety of tools and techniques. Tools and techniques without the right skills are wasted potentials. 

Being creative causes suffering if we cannot live creatively in our profession. It is not only about how to act with more tools and techniques, but to build a bridge between your voice and your work. It requires clarity of what someone wants to express and an understanding of the creative process. 

This course is based on the outcomes of the 538710-LLP-1-2013-1-CY-LEONARDO-LMP TECRINO “Teaching creativity in engineering” project. Methods and tools developed in Tecrino project have wide implementation in developing Innovation and Creativeness. Approach and concepts shaped within Tecrino project will be within this course focused to sharpen your personal skills, competencies and building self-awareness.
