Thinkpetizers: Small Mental Bites of Creative Thinking
by FORTH added on 07 Nov 2019
Brief description:
|
The Thinkpetizers is a fast-paced hands-on workshop aiming to introduce the concept, practice and value of creative thinking through an engaging and fun participative experience, which even large multigenerational groups can enjoy together. To this end, the Thinkpetizers ‘borrow’ concepts and practices from popular events such as recreational sports group exercise, music concerts and stand-up comedy. Participants are allowed to discuss freely during the activities or even to copy from each other, since copying is often a good starting point for igniting idea generation. Participants mostly work in pairs and, occasionally, in groups of 3 or 4. |
