Spring and Summer Workshops 2011

The Creativity Workshop: Creative Writing, Drawing, Storytelling,

and Memoir

is dedicated to helping academics and educators from all fields

develop and

nurture creativity in their disciplines. Workshops are held in

inspiring

locations all over the world and are available for CEUs or 3

graduate level

credits from the University of Iowa and University of Arizona.

The Workshop is a professional development opportunity that

includes learning,

travel, graduate credits, and association with peers from all over

the world.

The Creativity Workshop was founded in 1993 by University of

Iowa Professor

(1985-2000) Shelley Berc and multimedia artist Alejandro Fogel.

The exercises and lectures by the instructors are aimed at

helping academics

and educators (and through them, their students):

- Develop creativity in disciplines as diverse as mathematics, art

and

creative writing, languages, and science.

- Recognize and nurture creativity in themselves and their

students.

- Focus on creativity as a process rather than a product that can

be a potent

way of thinking.

- Find inspiration in the everyday world and use it as a tool for a

lifetime

of learning.

- Get over writers block, be it essay writing, research, or creative

writing.

- Combat the fear of failure when exploring self expression and

new ideas.

- Use creative work in collaborative thinking, leadership,

teamwork, and to

foster mutual respect in the classroom.

- Engage and focus innate curiosity to meet pedagogical needs,

such as

problem-solving.

- Understand and use metaphorical thinking to establish links

between diverse

areas of knowledge.
