Association “Creative Connections” together with LIAA invites members of our Association to participate in a training session on 6 and 13 June to discuss the possibilities of setting up an educational activity and to provide advice for those who want to start their own educational activity.
During the two meetings in June
– We will explore creativity as a competence and the principles of creative learning;
– learning how to design an educational process that combines specific forms of creativity and competences and responds to the needs of participants;
– we will try to identify what learning opportunities we can offer to others.
Time: 6 and 13 June 2023, 5 p.m. – 8.30 p.m.
