Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

The course will be taught in the form of conference presentations. The general framework of this course will be to conduct workshops and different practices, develop working methods and programs, and evaluate case studies, in order to remove the obstacles that prevent students from becoming more creative, to enable them to recreate themselves individually and to develop increasingly creative ideas and projects. Among the aims of this course are to try to deeply immerse important names in the field of creativity, important presentations, seminars and events in this field, and thus to enable students to establish relationships with professional platforms.
