The CAS Creationship offers project- and practice-oriented training that uniquely supplements students' existing vocational qualifications. Participants acquire sound creative expertise and strategies from the world of art and design, as well as learning new skills and attitudes:
- Learning knowledge acquaints stores of abstract knowledge with contemporary experiences, producing familiarity with the methodical principles that underpin creative processes and facilitating the practical application of proactive creative techniques on an individual project.
- Learning skills refers to developing the skills and abilities required to deal with relevant issues and then find and scrutinize potential solutions. During this process, doubt is seen as a productive force and uncertainty something that deserves patience.
- Learning attitudes aims to demonstrate how to successfully maintain a clear and authentic position in relation to others and oneself and how this gives participants an ability to play an active part in their professional and private lives with empathy and openness.
The Creationship method teaches students that creative solutions can only be achieved when they make use of various knowledge and memory banks that were previously kept separate. In order to activate these banks, the degree programme creates an experimental training field where the necessary networks can be linked in ways that students were previously unaware of. This requires a willingness to be inspired and a desire to tap one's own potential.
The teaching is rooted in vitality and enthusiasm rather than stress or the pressure to perform. The CAS Creationship leads to a “reawakening” of participants' joie de vivre, thirst for discovery and creative power. Students leave behind routine ways of thinking, releasing dormant mental resources by thinking in line with the principles of Creationship. They learn both actively and independently as well as by participating and networking in groups, very much in keeping with a learning community.
