Creativity can be thought of as the colour that brings Curriculum for Excellence to life. The four core creativity skills run throughout the four capacities and are integral to the meta skills which are increasingly important in today’s workplace.

The World Economic Forum states that by 2025, the top five skills employers will be looking for include innovation, complex problem solving, critical thinking, creativity and originality. Creativity is one of our most essential skills.

Here in Scotland we define creativity skills in a way that educators across all sectors can identify, value and discuss with learners:

• Curiosity

• Open-Mindedness

• Imagination

• Problem solving

Education Scotland have brought together a wide range of resources and information to develop creativity skills, creative teaching, creative learning, and creative change. These can be found here on the Education Scotland website: https://education.gov.scot/improvement/learning-resources/what-are-creativity-skills/
