Meetings Attended: promotional planning for philip's comedy show, mentoring session for fellow comedian, ADL (Auckland Disability Law), Diversityworks Trust project meeting, TBI website meeting, meeting with disability council rep
Projects worked on: reading and research on creative thinking, research for web content, some website building/designing, brainstorming for promotional teasers for Philip's show, reading project proposals and communications between Philip and key relations
Tangible learning experiences: experience with planning a comedy show, exposure to project proposals which include project objectives, structure and timelines, need analysis, benefits/risk/and impact, and financial models
Intangible lessons learned: understanding the intricacy of population politics and programs, greater coalition thinking- wider than just population specific thinking (bonding groups together through common experience rather than focusing on unique experience), philosophical thinking on creativity, for example thinking about how there are two worlds: one that exists with or with out you, and the world that exists in your interpretation, or thinking about the relationship between individual creativity and the environment which generates it, which speaks to the importance of maintaining a teaching environment which allows for and generates creativity not only in schools, but in working with different populations
Cool Quotes on creativity from Ken Robinson's book Out of our Minds:
"Thinking and feeling are not simply about seeing the world as it is, but of having ideas about it, of interpreting experience to give it meaning"...essentially, we create the worlds we live in
"Creative insights often occur by making connections between ideas or experiences that were previously unconnected" ...could be a way of looking about how the disabled sector can work together with Maori and other populations to achieve common goals...coalition thinking!
