Applied Creativity Labs®
IVE’s Award Winning Applied Creativity Labs® (ACLs) give young people the creative behaviours and thinking skills to develop innovative solutions to real world challenges, in the classroom or via remote online delivery.
We deliver a wide range of themed Applied Creativity Lab programmes including:
What's involved?
Applied Creativity Labs focus on real world challenges, such as air pollution, food sustainability, well-being initiatives, transportation streamlining, school-improvement drives and promotion transferable skills. Applied Creativity Labs are for young people in schools and/or youth groups.
What's the process?
We begin the process by presenting young people with an overview of what the ‘challenge’ is (e.g. air pollution, reducing single use plastics, creating wellbeing initatives, raising awareness about an industry issue). We deliver our bespoke creativity training, giving access to a bank of ‘experts’ from industry, business and universities.
Young people then explore, develop, and refine their best original, applicable solutions to the challenge.
The groups prepare to pitch their solution to a panel, dragon’s den style. The best ideas are considered for further development.
When, where and how?
Online Delivery
An online lab is delivered over nine one-hour-long sessions. All participants need to be able to access the Labs via Zoom, whether in groups in class, or individually from home.
In person Delivery
Run in person for your educational group either as an after-school club or as part of the curriculum.
What's the impact?
By applying creativity to real-world challenges, learning becomes ‘real’ and young people take an active part in creating their own futures.
