About the course

Creative thinking is the ability to put forward new ideas, look at problems from an unusual angle and find solutions that are original and, at the same time, practical. It helps you step outside habitual ways of thinking, see connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena and turn ideas into workable results, without fear of experimenting or making mistakes. During the course, participants will become familiar with the key methods and tools of creative thinking (for example, brainstorming, SCAMPER, mind maps and design thinking), learn to overcome mental blocks, and develop the skills to generate ideas, evaluate them and bring them to life, in both work and everyday situations.
