The Creative Courage Cohort- Students
“At its core, creative confidence is about believing in your ability to create change in the world around you. It is the conviction that you can achieve what you set out to do. We think this self-assurance, this belief in your creative capacity, lies at the heart of innovation.”
– David Kelley and Tom Kelley, Creative Confidence
The Creative Courage Cohort- Students
While many people equate creativity with producing artistic masterpieces, creativity is, in fact, a mindset, a way of finding more and richer possibilities for interaction with the things, people, and places in our world. The Creative Courage Cohort is designed to equip students with tools and strategies for creative thinking that they can bring into their future classes and work beyond CC. In the process, they will learn to switch between divergent and convergent thinking and bring playfulness, exploration, and experimentation into their daily lives.
The Creative Courage Cohort experience begins with an immersion session during which students reconnect with their creative selves, explore how productive risk-taking and creativity are intertwined with learning and identity, and learn creative problem-solving Techniques.
