Creativity Development Workshop “Go Beyond the Boundaries!”

On June 12, a workshop on the development of creativity “Go beyond the limits!” was held by the Center for Helping the Rescued Zaporizhzhia, co-organized by the Department of Psychology.

The workshop was conducted by Tetyana Borodulkina, a psychologist at the Center, associate professor of the Department of Psychology. Among the participants were our students of the specialty “Psychology”, teachers of our university, in particular, Iryna Bondarevych, associate professor of the Department of Philosophy, as well as representatives of the Department of Psychology of King Danylo University (Ivano-Frankivsk).

During the session, the participants analyzed the concepts of “creativity” and “creation”, trained creative thinking, and performed exercises to develop creativity. Of particular interest was the work with the exercise-questionnaire “Changing Perspectives” (Chris Griffiths and Melina Kosti), in which participants were asked to temporarily pretend to be someone else and look at their problem from the perspectives of different imaginary people. This method makes it possible to study the problem from different angles, remove their own mental limitations, and find the optimal solution.
