READ: Educational System Does Not Support Creativity WEF report states that "many of today’s education systems are already disconnected from the skills needed to function in today’s labor markets". It goes on to underline how schools tend to focus primarily on developing children’s cognitive skills – or skills within more traditional subjects – rather than fostering skills like problem-solving, creativity, or collaboration from an early age. We have focused on teaching to the test and learning factual knowledge but the skills needed to adapt to an increasingly complex and changing work environment. What it Means to be Creative: Ability to Solve Problems with Relevance and Novelty When many people think of creativity, they think of artists, graphic designers, writers, painters, etc. We have all heard stories of genius and creative people. We praise companies like Apple, Tesla, Facebook because of their creativity. But that’s not what it means to be creative, because creativity doesn’t mean artistry or tied to a specific industry, job, role, position. Yes, an artist could be creative, but so could a software engineer, a mathematician, a salesperson, or a CEO. This means YOU. Yes, YOU! are CREATIVE. This class will help you explore that creativity and help you analyze how you can be more creative.
