Syllabus
  • The critical thinking block focuses on work with information and addresses three aspects: (a) self-management, where balancing the quality of work performance and personal well-being in relation to information around us is presented; (b) communication, where appropriate choices of means of communication are discussed; and (c) information itself, where validity of arguments and quality of information is analysed in search for information-based decision-making.
  • The second block addresses four elements of creativity, namely creative potential, creative processes, creative situations and barriers to creativity.
  • This practice-oriented course is organised around group and individual tasks, problem-solving, discussion and debate activities and will engage its participants in immersive, experiential situations, providing them with an opportunity to try out, reflect and better understand their own critical and creative thinking strengths and weaknesses.
