Visual Thinking 4 Education
Welcome to the Training Course!
This Training Course was created as part of the Visual Thinking for Education project.
The project aims to integrate the creative methodology of visual thinking and artistic and philosophical concepts to enhance young people's problem-solving and communication skills. As the job market demands professionals with innovative problem-solving skills, arts, philosophy and communication trainers need structured Visual Thinking resources. The project therefore provides new methodologies for effective and engaging education.
