Challenge your creativity

This month, the New Zea­l­and Cre­ativ­ity Chal­lenge is set­ting up camp in Wel­ling­ton, and whatever your cre­at­ive abil­ity, you’re invited!

The chal­lenge, which is in its second year, is all about con­nect­ing people across dif­fer­ent fields and encour­aging them to get in touch with their cre­at­ive sides.

To kick-start the con­fer­ence, lead experts will fly in from across the world to share the import­ance of cre­ativ­ity to nature, sci­ence, edu­ca­tion and human pos­sib­il­it­ies. Cre­at­ive types vis­it­ing for the event include authors Robert and Michele Root-Bern­stein, edit­ors Steven Pritzker and Ruth Richards, and edu­ca­tion­al psy­cho­lo­gist Arthur Cropley. The event will include hands-on work­shops, dis­cus­sion groups and excel­lent net­work­ing oppor­tun­it­ies, all based around the theme “Cre­ativ­ity Crosses Boundaries”.

Jonath­an Mil­ne, man­aging dir­ect­or of The Learn­ing Con­nex­ion and con­fer­ence organ­iser, hopes Wel­ling­to­ni­ans will con­sider join­ing the event even if doesn’t sound like their usu­al thing.

“We hope that people from all walks of life will par­ti­cip­ate in the chal­lenge. It’s social, cul­tur­al, aca­dem­ic, com­mer­cial, ima­gin­at­ive and real­ist­ic. It’s a blend of qual­it­ies that make New Zea­l­and an extraordin­ary place.”
