The ACMlab Creativity and Arts in Education is being organised in collaboration with the Edward de Bono Institute for Creative Thinking and Innovation at the University of Malta. Originally focused on teaching Professor Edward de Bono’s thinking tools the institute has now expanded and diversified offering a wide range of courses and events to UM students and to the general public in four interrelated subject areas, Creativity, Innovation Management, Entrepreneurship and Futures Studies.
This workshop will discuss creativity, what we understand by such term and what is its role in our education system. Can student creativity be facilitated through art intervention? The workshop will also delve into some of the findings of a study conducted by University of Malta researchers Dr. Marie Briguglio, Dr. Leonie Baldacchino and Dr. Margaret Mangion in collaboration with Arts Council Malta between 2016 and 2017. The study revealed that participation in Kreattiv; an arts intervention programme within schools had a significant impact on student creativity. What does this tell us on the future of education and the use of arts in teaching?
