Creativity, Curiosity and Collaboration: A Conference Series - The University of Wyoming is playing a leading role in a national, cross-institutional conversation that seeks to reposition “Creativity, Curiosity and Collaboration” at the center of 21st century education. This year-long dialogue begins with ReVisioning the (W)hole II: Curious Intersections (September 23-25, 2008) and culminates with Teaching Creativity (February 24-26 2009). Both will be held on the University of Wyoming campus.
Creativity, Curiosity and Collaboration will provide a blueprint for transforming the Arts and Humanities into an arena for cultivating the creative and imaginative powers that reside at the heart of the entrepreneur, the inventor, and the artist. Among the outcomes of this dialogue, a cross-institutional collaborative team will seek to build on its early success with developing an Arts and Humanities-based social entrepreneurial pedagogy. The goal of this pedagogy is to inspire undergraduates to move beyond the act of acknowledging the existence of social problems to the pursuit of viable solutions, however partial, to those same problems. As we conceive it, this pedagogy embraces the civic-mindedness of service-learning, the high intellectual and performance standards of the academic community, and the open-ended creative energy of the entrepreneur, the inventor, and the artist. Consciously conceived of as providing a concrete alternative to the idea that the fundamental role of the those working in the Arts and the Humanities is to assume an oppositional stance in relation to contemporary society, Creativity, Curiosity and Collaboration will thus document how the Arts and the Humanities can be transformed into a space for providing undergraduates with direct access to the creative side of problem-solving and thus how to lay the foundation for an entrepreneurial relationship to the future.
