Friday, July 4,2008: Créa-Université Colloquium

The Créa-Université association was founded by members of Université René Descartes, Créa-France and Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers. Our objectives are to develop and teach creativity and innovation theory and practice. We offer a training program in French and in English on these topics; this program runs all year long. We also convene a yearly colloquium; this is an opportunity for people from business, consulting, education and all areas of change and creation to learn from international experts and share experiences.


“Pedagogy and the Development of Creativity”

A day dedicated to creativity and innovation, to learning and sharing, to developing and nurturing your creative potential and that of your organization.
A day to explore theory, to integrate concrete methods and to discover innovative practices.
 How to develop your creativity?
 How to stimulate your team’s creativity?
 How to apply creativity to innovation projects within organizations?

Participants of the ICIE’s conference are welcome to join the Créa-Université Colloquium for an extra fee of 100€, payable directly to ICIE. Conferences and workshops last 1 hour and 15 minutes and there are four such slots during the day on July 4th. There is also a 45 minute workshop using rhythm, offered by RedZebra, during the mid-day break.

The conferences are in English and French (simultaneous translation). The interactive workshops are in either English or French, except for RedZebra’s which will be in the two languages.
