THEORETICAL BASIS

“Creativity is present whenever a We understand creativity is one of humanity´s greatest
person imagines, combines, alters assets. It allows us to have new ideas to solve problems,
and creates something new.” seek opportunities, transform reality and add value to

Vygotsky society.

Creativity is a result of our experiences. What we do, see, hear, touch, taste and smell is stored and organi-
zed in our subconsciousness. From the point of view of neuroscience, creativity means accumulating and
reorganizing these experiences in a new way.

e TransFor.Me Journey is founded upon the creative con dence concept by Tom and David Kelley, Stan-
ford professors and creators of Design inking. We believe everyone can develop one´s own creativity,
especially when we overcome the fear of making mistakes and put our ideas in action. Innovation, on the
other hand, cannot be separated from creativity, but it needs to have a potential to be adopted by a group
of people. In order to bring this innovation to this group of people, we need entrepreneurial and communi-
cative skills in di erent levels.

To be a leader, and to own ones´ own decisions, the individual needs to be aware of one´s own life story, of
C
one´s own talents and skills, and, above all, one´s own values. It is through self-awareness that students
M
develop their creative self. As they think, they innovate, as they act, they accomplish.
