Creative literacy workshop in Turku, summer 2014 


Picture
The EU Lifelong Learning Program’s Finnish office CIMO (Centre for International Mobility) has given a grant to Turku City Library to arrange a Grundtvig workshop titled Creative Literacy. The workshop was held in conjunction with the Turku Women’s Centre. The aims of the workshop were to inspire international cooperation, develop interactive processes and to assist participants in the development of professional skills. The participants have been chosen based on personal applications. The workshop was in Turku in early June 2014. 

SUMMARY OF CREATIVE LITERACY - workshop 
At the center:  CREATIVE AND OPEN ATTITUDE, OWN INSPIRATION 

The workshop was designed based on report of  EU High Level Group of Experts,September 2012. 
 "We need to realise that reading and writing are much more than a technique or a skill. Literacy is about people’s self-esteem and ability to function and flourish in society as private individuals, active citizens, employees, or parents. Our societies need to face this hidden crisis and all need to act, and act together, to boost literacy levels and to reduce illiteracy." 

In the beginning of the workshop there was no presentation of the participants, no organization, no background information  to not create any prior assumptions. People were taken as individuals and they  represented themselves.  The  participants  were selected  in such a way that the group was as versatile as possible (country, age, gender, work). 

In pre tasks (personal collage) there was given the opportunity in a creative way to tell about your self. 

1. Important part of working were the preliminary tasks. 

The preliminary tasks had many purposes: 
  • Introduction of the (getting to know to one another) participants
  • Information on what is the concept of today's literacy, multi-literacy.
  • by using Facebook in making the preliminary tasks there was  aim to promote group formation already before the actual workshop. 

2. On the workshop days  in Turku and Raisio we tried to develop and encourage participant´s positive attitudes  towards  creativity. To discover the fact that  there are possibilities to find suitable forms to support learning literacy which are  fresh and eye-catching  to each group and  individuals
