What the project is about?
Knowledge and innovation are seen as the beating heart of European growth. Little time ago, the European Council stated that European citizens' potential for creativity and innovation is essential for future growth. The Council of Europe emphasizes the importance of creativity, knowledge, flexibility and innovation in a time of rapid technological change as they enhance citizens' well-being and provide careers opportunities.

Although we are supported to develop creativity and creative skills from the highest level, our local realities demonstrated that the results have not been visible so far, at least not to the desirable extend. Therefore, we identified the following needs:
-schools do not encourage creative thinking, due to the overburden curricula and lack of use of NFE tools as integrated part of the learning process
-employers require a lot of creative thinking
-young people are less interested in creative thinking, as they associate it with art (music, dance, theatre).

Young people in our organizations believe that training their creative skills will help them feel more confident, tune in with their inner drive, understand their unique voice and take active steps to reach their personal and professional goals.
As youth workers supporting young people development and learning process, we need to increase and extend spaces for the kind of education that will promote creative thinking.
By using interactive and non-formal methods, the participants will become highly involved in the project and will be able to develop their own skills and practical knowledge. The training working principles are based on experiential pedagogy. Moreover, they will be motivated to continue sharing the knowledge afterwards in their home country and within their own organization.
