Planned learning activities and teaching methods
After an overview of what is exactly creativity. The students will be asked to identify a common project that will mobilize during the 3 training days.
Through this project, students will make the round trip between theory (including in particular methodologies and practical tools of creativity) and practiced. These three days of training will be supplemented later by organizing "communities of practice", namely the sharing of experiences between students to build, starting from the practices and skills of each, knowledge and good practices in creativity and innovation. This is an opportunity for students to step back from their project and to collect feedback on their actions, through specialized coaches in creativity and innovation from ID Campus.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Participatory seminar built around a permanent back and forth between theoretical concepts into practice, sharing experiences and deepening change projects managed by students in companies
