Expected Outcomes:
The “Kinetic Creativity” Training Course is a lot of work for participants, but it is fun, and it illustrates in the course design exactly the concepts we are trying to pass on to our participants. It is also designed to have applicable results on the personal and
professional levels. As mentioned in the previous section, Kinetic Creativity will provide participants with the opportunity to develop some real ideas and possibilities for solutions to practical problems that they face every day in their work or other activities. It will also give participants the space they need to explore their own kind of creativity and to think of what types of contributions they are interested in making within a group. Of course, the participants will also have the opportunity for planning future activities and actions with each other and with members of the Training Team on the last training day.
Aims:
The aims of the course are as follows:
• Provide a theoretical and methodological framework to support the participants' understanding of how creativity can be harnessed within groups, as well as within oneself, to promote action and solve complex issues;
• Promote the use of creativity as a method to reach higher levels of participation, in which groups of youngsters can more deeply engage with one another and work-through potential problems or challenges, including language barriers;
• Raise awareness of creative processes in group dynamics, for a more conscious group facilitation;
• Experience and reflect on the participants' various roles as a group member in a creative process, improving team work.
Methods:
During the training, participants will find the space and atmosphere conducive to creative activities. Strategies employed during this Training Course include a strong emphasis on active citizenship and an holistic understanding of creativity. The methods used will involve a high level of self-organisation within the group and self-organised learning. In addition, Trainers will employ the following:
• visualization;
• reflection groups;
• exploration of group dynamics and group roles through drama exercises/roleplay;
• creative activities such as creative writing, drawing, working with various materials, music and movement;
• process and product based approaches including the action planning for dealing with global challenges and implementing them in future collaborations.
Costs:
This project is financed by the Youth in Action Programme. Being selected for this course, all costs (accommodation, 70% of travel costs, etc.) relevant to participation in the course will be covered by the YiA Programme. The participants cover 30% of their travel costs. For the national limits to the travel costs please consult us.
