(2) Personal importance of creativity: creativity is a potential in every person. (3) Cultural importance of creativity: over-generational effects and sustainable variations of every culture. The participants will join in a reflective journey on creativity from 1950 to today. They shall be actively engaged in discussing their conceptions of creativity. In addition, they will be exposed to selected creativity frameworks, creativity techniques, and research findings.
Professor Tan’s research and teaching experiences on creativity in Asia and other parts of the world will be shared in the workshop.
