Critical and Creative Thinking Graduate Program

CCT Community Open House Event: Reflections on Bringing Critical and Creative Thinking to the Field

Monday, February 5, 2018, 7:00-8:30pm ET
Please join us for this participatory discussion on how we are taking critical to creative thinking beyond the program of studies and bringing it into settings across diverse areas of professional and personal life. Participants, including CCT alums, will have a chance to hear about and share experiences about what they have done or are continuing to do to inspire and influence critical and creative thinking in the field during challenging times. We hope to address questions such as the following:

• How have your views on critical and/or creative thinking changed over time (and for alums in particular, in your time since you completed the CCT program)?
• What are our experiences and success stories of developing critical and creative thinking -- both in our own individual practices, and across our communities?
• Where are the greatest needs and opportunities to support critical and creative thinking right now, and what steps can be taken to do so?

6:45 Arrive and greetings
7:00 Welcome and introduction to the open house
7:10 Discussion activity: Autobiographical introductions in small groups to help explore the questions above.
7:40 Return to main group for additional discussion and closing circle
8:00 Additional comments from alums and others about ongoing work.
