The 'Call for Creative Futures' conference will be held in Oulu, Finland between 10th and 11th October 2006.
There are interesting keynote speakers, including:
- Sandra M. Dingli, The Edward de Bono Institute, University of Malta
- Judith Doyle, Ontario College of Art and Design, Canada
My contribution is a workshop called "The connections of creativity, innovation and IT". After my short introduction, the following presentations will take place:
- Johanna
Still: The Influence of R&D Network Conditions on its Knowledge Creation -
Cases New Mobile Service Development Networks
- Katariina
Ala-Rämi and Tommi Inkinen: Information Technology, communication and
innovative networking. The case of Northern Finland
Key topics: open innovation, reorganisation of R&D, communities of practice, mobility, mobile learning, problem-based learning, Web 2.0, organisational learning, telework.
I am glad to chair with Professor Sanna Järvelä. She is an expert in motivation, learning and IT related topics. I am still seeking the connection between Creative Problem-solving (CPS) and Problem-based Learning (PBL).
Let's hope that learning and education themes will be central in all creativity conferences in the future. It seems to me that many of those "Creative City" programs / conferences are not focused on learning and educational topics at all. In that sense The Call for Creative Futures Oulu -conference has a positive start :-)
Afterword: The Oulu conference is free of charge. So, get registrated!
