Description
Creative thinking is getting a bigger and bigger role in the “learning of the future,” it is one of the 21st Century Skills. And rightly so, because life is full of challenges. Whether it's work, school or other activities, things don't always go as expected. Those who can think creatively can see opportunities and be flexible. He does not let himself be easily thrown off balance when things go differently than planned. Discovery, development, daring to make mistakes are all part of it. At the team training creative thinking we will do all kinds of exercises to train the creative mindset.

You don't let unexpected changes or situations hold you back, because you have faith in your own ideas and possibilities. The good news is that anyone can learn it. It's like building fitness, by training you get better at it. A creative mindset of students starts with the teacher.
