There are three modes of thinking – critical, creative and systems thinking – that empower us in all aspects of our lives. Creative thinking is the means by which radical inventions and innovations are made; critical thinking is what we use to craft and assess arguments, as well as to be logical in our thinking, and systems thinking enables us to see the big picture and connect parts to the sum of a process, endeavour or project. Whether we are conscious of it or not, we apply all three modes of thinking in our daily lives.This course guides the participants through the fundamentals of creative, critical, and systems thinking and provides them with the skills for applying these modes of thinking to phenomena in our lives. It will stimulate participants to deepen their processes of thinking and inquiry and challenge them to envision the world around them via different perspectives. There are no pre-requisites, except an open mind and a willingness to learn new things.
