Resilience is based on constant creativity, innovation, and experimentation, capabilities that are mostly generated by our Right Brain hemisphere. The ancestral non-verbal wisdom of our species, the holistic and intuitive perceptions of the world are valuable input for our survival. Our rational thinking (mostly Left Brain hemisphere) is meant to complement that input, analyzing and fragmenting information, clustering it, and establishing linear processes of implementation. When we neglect the non-rational wisdom we have in us, our solutions are missing critical information, have poor quality, and may create negative impacts on the ecosystem and society.

​

Teaching Goal: Students identify the value of non-verbal intuitive wisdom and their personal potential for creative innovation.

​

Meta Goal: Develop self-confidence in listening to their intuitive voice and in their (urgently needed) capacity to innovate.
