Creative learning needs creative teaching: plan your creative educational project!
Modern societies are increasingly demanding workforces that are creative, flexible, adaptable and innovative and education systems need to evolve with these shifting conditions.
Nevertheless, learners can be equipped with these skills enabling them to express themselves, critically evaluate the world around them and actively engage in the various aspects of human existence only if educators, trainers, teachers, artists and others access to the methods, tools and skills they need to do this.
Namely, creative learning needs creative teaching! The actual core of “Your educational project: Goal, Plan, Action!” module developed by Materahub (Italy) lies in the awareness that creative teaching needs effective educational projects and related planning, creative and critical thinking skills, resources and methods to enable educators to implement, manage and assess them.
However, how can educational projects be planned, developed and implemented? What are the strategies, tools and methods to set specific and viable teaching goals, to design, manage and assess your project and your learners’ achievements?
Indeed, this module aims at identifying some key skills needed to design educational projects and transferring techniques, methods and tools to achieve specific teaching goals as well as facilitating learning.
The design of any project, whether it is a professional, creative or educational project, begins with identifying its goal/s, its actual value both for the “project planner” and for the “target audience” ( i.e. adult learners, opera educators, arts educators, cultural mediators, and artists).
