Development of creativity
To warm-up, energize the minds of participants, to show them the
possibility to escape cliche ways of thinking and stereotypes in
any kinds of activities, and to give them a set of tools to develop
the inspiration and creative way of thinking.

10/13/13Associations the game.
Trainer start the first object (item, phenomenon, concept,
etc.)The next participant should come and represent and show the
coupled association: subject, phenomenon, concept, etc.The next
image should be associated with the previous one. NOT with the
first one or some else one just with the previous one.Participants
show and represent their associations and name it shortly. One by
one randomly.Participant represents it still.Participant represents
it until the next coupled association will come.

10/13/13Norwegian highway- the game.
A trainer gives you words: a departure point and a destination
point. It will be an items, or concepts, or anything. Nouns.You
should create an association highway between those 2 points, using
as many additional points as you need. It should be a clear and
present association between one point to next one. But you dont
need longer associations than between 2 points.Use minimum amount
of points: as few as you can.

10/13/13Practical tips and hints on inspiration and creativity.
If You have a question, problem or situation to be solved in a
creative way: Meditate.Ask a dilettante, an amateur, a dabbler
(like Wikipedia)Go outside to the forest, seaside or park. Find a
stone or branch. Look at it and decide how do its shape answers
your question. If no find another stone/branch.Use special
techniques: the Golden Fish method, the Brainstorming, the
Morphological tables method.The main tip what to do: go and make
the first step. May be a small one, maybe not important. But just
make that first step. Associations will come remember the
Associations game.
