Educating for a Life of Creativity in the Creative Economy

Fri May 5th 12:40-13:10 | Nortvegia

Keynote by Christer Windeløv-Lidzélius/The Kaospilots – Aarhus.

Today culture and art are recognized by most as key for living in an attractive society. It is often seen as the original sources of new thinking, pushing boundaries and generates original ideas that ultimately bring our societies forward. But where the creative economy is by some considered to be the next stage after the knowledge society, some see it as a fluffy concept without real consequence to the economic value creation. In this talk we will address the value of the creative economy by a bottom up approach by looking at a few cases, but also to see how education can play a positive role for helping people succeed in a context where creativity and innovation is desired beyond everything.
