Creativity Workshop in Florence

Creativity Workshops in New York, Crete, Barcelona and Florence.
Spring and Summer Workshops 2011

The Creativity Workshop: Creative Writing, Drawing, Storytelling, and Memoir
is dedicated to helping academics and educators from all fields develop and
nurture creativity in their disciplines. Workshops are held in inspiring
locations all over the world and are available for CEUs or 3 graduate level
credits from the University of Iowa and University of Arizona.

The Workshop is a professional development opportunity that includes learning,
travel, graduate credits, and association with peers from all over the world.

The Creativity Workshop was founded in 1993 by University of Iowa Professor
(1985-2000) Shelley Berc and multimedia artist Alejandro Fogel.

The exercises and lectures by the instructors are aimed at helping academics
and educators (and through them, their students):

- Develop creativity in disciplines as diverse as mathematics, art and
creative writing, languages, and science.
- Recognize and nurture creativity in themselves and their students.
- Focus on creativity as a process rather than a product that can be a potent
way of thinking.

- Find inspiration in the everyday world and use it as a tool for a lifetime
of learning.
- Get over writers block, be it essay writing, research, or creative writing.
- Combat the fear of failure when exploring self expression and new ideas.

- Use  creative work in collaborative thinking, leadership, teamwork, and to
foster mutual respect in the classroom.
- Engage and focus innate curiosity to meet pedagogical needs, such as
problem-solving.
- Understand and use metaphorical thinking to establish links between diverse
areas of knowledge.
