How does “creativity” translate across different cultures and why is innovative thinking the skill of the future? We will discuss these and other questions with participants from Ukraine, America, Peru, and Denmark during our Camp Innovation program. Will you be there?
With the completion of our first online Camp Liberty program, designed for Ukrainians and Americans to exchange their ideas about freedom, we`re returning with this successful format and a new topic – Innovative Thinking & Creativity!
America House Kyiv, the Ukrainian-Danish Youth House and ICPNA CHICLAYO in Peru are launching a program to bring together active youth to learn about and discuss Innovative Thinking & Creativity!
Join us if you already have any ideas relating to youth, social enterprises, businesses, art, technology, or any other field, and eager to share them with others, or just want to learn how creative thinking can bring new colors to your daily life. Besides group discussion, you will be matched with a counterpart representing their country and scheduled for one-on-one sessions in a “zoom pal” for a day format.
We believe that anyone can spark innovation and have super ideas worth sharing – just give them a try! During Camp Innovation, you will:
Network with like-minded people from Ukraine, the United States of America, Peru, and Denmark with various backgrounds, all collaborating to uncover common and innovative ways of staying creative and generating new ideas.
Think differently about innovation, comparing creativity across cultures, discussing how COVID-19 and global trends boost innovations and influence our future.
Hear fresh thoughts on your ideas if you already have them or get inspiration and support if you just want to develop one.
Exchange cultures and get familiar with a culture different from your own, developing new connections through group discussions and one-on-one talks.
