ABSTRACT:
Fostering
creativity and social responsibility in children and youth are essential for
more effec- tively addressing society’s most pressing problems. This article
proposes alternative pedagogy and methods for fostering creativity and
enhancing teaching and learning for creativity. It emphasizes the importance of
connecting the goals of teaching creative education to the broader goal of
education for social and global responsibility. Two schools attempting to
implement the latter are described.
