| Morning Session • 9am–Noon Mobilizing Creative Communities Innovation involves creative communities of people with a common goal. Creative communities mobilize everyone’s creativity via problem solving strategies that promote the implementation of an innovation. This half–day session will focus on guiding community groups through the identification of their creative strengths and channeling those strengths into a problem solving process that results in innovative action plans that address their goals. |
| Lunch • Noon–1pm |
| Afternoon Session (option 1) • 1–4pm The Poetics of Work An Imaginative Storm Creativity Salon The Poetics of Work is a dynamic creativity salon that cultivates participation through its emphasis on creativity, imagination, feedback, and form. The Poetics of Work is built on four navigational principles: 1) Narrative: Discover the wholehearted stories of your work; 2) Authentic Authority: Grow your creative confidence; 3) Voice: Speak through your work and your craft; 4) Expansion: Offer your work to the world. The Poetics of Work ignites imaginative thinking; transforms creative impulses into form and produces surprising perspectives. It’s fun to learn, exciting to use, and easy to teach. |  James Navé | |
