How to build youth wellbeing, creativity and entrepreneurship skills

11/1/2019

0 Comments

 
In the UK, the Durham Commission on Creativity & Education was published in mid-October, citing:

"The increasing recognition of the economic and social value of creativity and creative thinking has brought a fresh urgency to the development of entrepreneurship and the skills of the future workforce."

This is extraordinarily well-timed as Global Entrepreneurship Week 2019 takes place 18th – 24th November.

Why celebrate GEW in your school? Because it is a fantastic way to build youth wellbeing, complex problem-solving skills and solutions to challenges in your community.

How does it help? Children and youth can celebrate by using their unique creativity* to play with ideas for solutions on taking action for people and planet.

What can they do? Use a Flow In Action Innovation Challenge Toolkit as an easy-to-use, one-stop solution that you can use immediately.

Flow In Action Innovation Challenges are interactive challenge-based activities, using people and planet-centred design thinking* as an approach to:
  • Building youth wellbeing through the design process itself;
  • Developing complex problem-solving and critical and creative thinking skills; and
  • Empowering youth to go from idea to action in their communities.
Here are 3 options:

1. Sustainable School Innovation Challenge Toolkit: You can get this straight away, complete with online access to the full toolkit on the Flow In Action Hazu platform and the space to upload 30 ideas to create a visual impact library. You can use the innovation challenge as a rapid download activity or follow the lessons in full. Either way, you're planting seeds.
 
2. Tailored Innovation Challenges + Toolkit: We'll talk and I will design with you an innovation challenge specific to your community's needs, to use with the online challenge Toolkit.
 
3. Youth Entrepreneurship Workshops: Get in touch to talk about me running one or more face-to-face entrepreneurship workshops on-site at your school. 

* The Coursera Global Skills Index 2019 identifies design thinking at the number 1 skill required across 7/10 industries.

As part of our preparations, wherever you are in the world, use this wonder activity with your young people to connect them more deeply to their creativity as the new generation of innovators and entrepreneurs taking action for people and planet. 

I'd love to hear from you to talk about how we can work together to empower children and youth. Email elaine@flowinaction.org to arrange a time to explore further.
