Creative Resilience:
The ability to imagine and realise positive change in challenging life situations.
Creative Resilience is an enhanced capability which enables individuals, groups and communities to respond optimally to life’s immediate challenges, but also to imagine future opportunities and risks, supporting creative foresight and the development of preferable futures.
Creative Resilience is developed experientially through learning-based creative projects and activities tailored to particular contexts: in schools, workplaces, hospitals, communities, or any 'pop-up’ location. The development of creative resilience leads to personal and collective wellbeing and flourishing.
