A needs analysis was carried out during the initial time. Each partner applied a questionnaire to their staff which includes: 

  • How do the teachers/ lecturers/ trainers perceive and understand creativity?
  • What do they do to foster creativity through their teaching?
  • Do they use art to foster creativity?
  • How to be inclusive in education and create opportunities for everyone?
  • What kind of context and support are necessary for teachers to foster creativity in their learners?
  • Should they cooperate to be more effective?

This examination of teachers’ opinions on creativity shows that teachers have an encompassing view of creativity. %95 of teachers believe that creativity can be applied to every domain of knowledge and to every school subject and can be integrated with arts, music, drama and artistic performance. Everybody deserves to get access to the best facilities to improve themselves.

About arts?

By the arts we are referring to all types of
art—visual, film, music design, acting. In this regard,we want to create
a”Butterfly Effect”on our pupils by awaking awareness of power of art in learning and discover their existing potential and improve itmore. Arts enhances creativity, which is crucial for innovation and adaptation. Creative people have the ability to see
multiple solutions, employ original thoughts, and use their imagination. Arts promotes these skills, encouraging unique:
responses and diverse ways of looking at things in a non-formal learning context.

As the partnership we believe in ‘Anything is Possible’ through the arts for everyone. All types of partners need to bring
social inclusion approach to their profile of teaching.

The project aims to contribute to the use of innovative tools and novel didactic methods in education (formal and informal),thus improving its overall quality and relevance. Achieving this goal will involve international experience and various profiles of involved institutions. The project aims to contribute to the creation of a friendly space for the development of creativethinking skills and quick adaptation through the exchange of experiences and good practices in this area between nongovernmental organizations, educational institutions and organizations from the cultural and creative sector that deals withformal, informal and non-formal education. The aim of the consortium is also to develop international recommendations andpan solutions that will contribute to a permanent increase in the skills of independent, reflective and creative thinking among young people (secondary school students), who will soon enter the labor market and will face the choice of a career path. Itwill be possible thanks to supporting educators and youth workers in using the tools and methods of creative learning.
