Creativity and Complexity for Educational Change and Social Justice
The purpose of this line is to apply creativity in a practical and profound sense in the various areas involved in Social Justice and educational innovation, serving as a bridge between the academy and various educational, social and cultural organizations and groups.
This multidisciplinary team was born from the work carried out in the Research Group for Educational Change and Social Justice, GICE.
Some of its principles and purposes are to:
- Enhance creativity as an individual, social and complex phenomenon that allows us to advance in the frontiers of its epistemology, as well as in the episteme of each person interested in taking their knowledge into action, in coherence with social justice and ecological sustainability.
- Promote creativity based on consciousness, promoting a convergent sense of democratic, inclusive, fair and sustainable values and a culture of peace.
- Encourage the exchange of experiences in research, formal and non-formal education, and develop networks
- Develop a repository of innovative pedagogical and social experiences around creativity and Social Justice.
Some actions developed to achieve these purposes are:
- Conferences and online workshops.
- IMPLANTA innovation project
- Doctoral theses
- UAM Applied Creativity Expert Program
In addition, collaborates with the International Network of Creative Schools and with the Association for Creativity-ASOCREA.
