Education
Creative Schools

Description



This publication is divided into seven volumes and aims to develop the creative genome of educational centers, their teachers and their students. It is the culmination of the Creative Schools project, developed by Fundación Telefónica, through which it has been possible to transfer to education the method of creativity and innovation that chef Ferran Adrià uses in gastronomy.

In the first of the books the project is contextualized and also the need to include creativity in the current processes of educational change that the school is experiencing. In addition, five guides are included that develop this method of innovation in a practical way, two directed to centers and another three for teachers. To close the collection, the seventh book includes the results obtained through the experience of the 17 centers that participated in the project during 2017.

The specific theme of each guide is the following:
