- To work on the habit of practising creativity daily 
- To promote creativity as a crucial skill in the context of the modern job market and employability
- To create a culture that fosters creativity in participating organisations

Applied methods of work:
In this course, we’ll be exploring creativity in a relaxed, supportive, and learner-centred environment, with no pressure and no judgment. Whether you think you're creative or not, you'll have space to reflect, experiment, and discover new ways of thinking.
After the training course, you will have a chance to practise the skills you have gained by organising and delivering a workshop for at least 10 youths in your country.
We invite you to come with an open heart and mind. During the training, we encourage experimentation, curiosity and mistakes without blame.

The training is based on non-formal education principles and combines methods such as storytelling, drama and theatre-based techniques, creative writing, visual and expressive arts, alongside reflection exercises, creative problem-solving, and self-directed project work, supported by research-informed theoretical inputs.
