Creative Box: Promoting the innovative approaches to building educational formats in youth work

Description

"<< Background >>Creative approaches in work processes are becoming an increasingly relevant and in-demand skill of present and future. Creativity is not only a driver of economic development or innovative educational approaches in a rapidly changing world, but also a guarantee of socio-cultural change and a way to deal with social challenges, as well as problems caused by coronavirus pandemic and lockdown. Modern realities force us to review all pedagogical practices and evaluate them in accordance with requirements of digital learning. Thus there is a need to combine creative approaches to learning and requirements of digitalization of all educational processes, which will improve quality of youth work, which is what INEDA project is aimed at. In order to adjust to new realities, implement innovations and seek opportunities in challenges, it is necessary to develop skills and competencies that enhance creativity potential, strengthen intersectoral cooperation. In particular based on an online survey „Innovation and creativity in youth field”, 67% of respondent (youth workers) says they encounter difficulties to create alternatives of action for their beneficiaries outside of mainstream thinking, which leads to low active participation and engagement of youth. Non-formal education workers play a catalytic role, especially with those youth who are disadvantaged and hard to reach. There is a need to enhance capacity of youth workers to promote innovation and creativity in young people. It is necessary to develop creativity of youth workers (and their characteristics according to theory of creativity by Torrens, which help to better produce ideas such as Fluency Flexibility, Elaboration, Originality so that they can adapt quickly and efficiently and be innovative in digital era. The importance of innovation and creativity skills was emphasized during Davos Economic Forum.
