Creativity and enterprising skills in the learning process
12th March 2015
Aula Magna Politecnico di Milano
Piazza Leonardo da Vinci, 32 Milan
Within the EU funded project SprED+C - Spreading the Word about Creativity in Education (LLP – KA4), Fondazione Politecnico di Milano organises a Conference aiming
to share with teachers and students new creative approaches in the learning processes of technical and scientific subjects.
In the planning of Educational paths – beside the transmission of knowledge – what is the role of the development of competences, abilities and skills? Creativity,
initiative and enterprising are considered learning objectives? How to build a link between different levels of Education (from primary school to University) around the
issues of creativity and transversal skills? Who is a “creative” teacher and how to evaluate the development of creative and enterprising skills in the students at the
end of a study course?
These are some of the questions around which the conference intends to start a dialogue, presenting needs and demands the European Union and the world of work
and national and local cases within Technical Universities.
The conference is the fourth of five events foreseen by SprED+C project, whose aim is contributing to the building up of a European community of teachers joint by a
common interest towards transversal competences, creativity and enterprising.
SprED+C is led by Fondazione Politecnico di Milano and with ProEduca (the Czech Republic); Satean (Romania); Junior Achievement Slovensko (Slovakia); University
of Portsmouth (United Kingdom).
