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 Zaporizhzhia Rescue Center, which was 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 majoring in «Psychology», teachers of our university, in particular, Iryna Bondarevych, assistant professor of the Department of Philosophy, as well as representatives from the Department of Psychology of King Danylo University (Ivano-Frankivsk).

During the class, the participants analyzed the concepts of «creativity» and «creativity», trained creative thinking, performed exercises to develop creativity. Of particular interest was the work with the questionnaire exercise «Change of perspectives» (Chris Griffiths and Melina Costi), in which participants were asked to temporarily pretend to be someone else and look at their problem from the positions of different imaginary persons. This method provides an opportunity to study the problem from different angles, remove one’s own mental limitations, and find the optimal solution.
