“…This creative act allows us to perceive the world differently, find hidden patterns, and construct connections between seemingly unrelated events to generate extraordinary output. [1][2][3][4] Following a summary of the fundamental theories on creativity conceptualization, we will discuss the various hypotheses that attempt to explain the mental processes involved in creativity. We shed light on the significance of skill development in enhancing creativity in health and disease.…”

Can we better understand the unique mechanisms of de novo abilities in light of our current knowledge of the psychological and neuroscientific literature on creativity? This review outlines the state‐of‐the‐art in the neuroscience of creativity and points out crucial aspects that still demand further exploration, such as brain plasticity. The progressive development of current neuroscience research on creativity presents a multitude of prospects and potentials for furnishing efficacious therapy in the context of health and illness. Therefore, we discuss directions for future studies, identifying a focus on pinpointing the neglected beneficial practices for creative therapy. We emphasize the neglected neuroscience perspective of creativity on health and disease and how creative therapy could offer limitless possibilities to improve our well‐being and give hope to patients with neurodegenerative diseases to compensate for their brain injuries and cognitive impairments by expressing their hidden creativity.

“…It is important that creativity encourages creation of innovations and their introduction in organisations (Cropley, 2015;Newman et al, 2018). Creativity is also linked to the person's pursuit of mastery, willingness to take risk, independence and tolerance to various approaches (Beaney, 2019;Benea-Popuşoi, Duca, 2021;Chen et al, 2018;Demarin, Derke, 2020;Jahanshahi et al, 2019;Huertas, Pergentino, 2020;Karimi, et al, 2020). The works of others researchers focus on the relationships between creativity and leadership and, at the same time, between person's self-confidence and self-respect (Fonseca et al, 2019;Hughes et al, 2018;Koh et al, 2019;Liu et al, 2020).…”

The article presents a theoretical discussion of peculiarities of creativity and social competence. Creativity expression is analysed on the basis of social competence. The aim of research: to investigate peculiarities of perceived creativity and social competence of students of social profile in Lithuanian higher education schools, to disclose their correlations and to foresee prognostic possibilities of creativity expression on the basis of social competence. The research methodologies: The Questionnaire of Personality Creativity (Petrulis, 1988) was used to investigate the students' perceived creativity according to the subscales of intuition, phantasy, inclination to creativity, inclination to innovation, flexibility, originality, criticality, inversion and childishness. The students' social competence was assessed using the questionnaire of Ullriche, de Muynck (1994) (cf. Lekavičiene, 2001) according to the subscales of general self-confidence, resistance to failures and criticism, ability of expressing feelings, ability of asking for a favour, unyielding, ability of demanding and feeling not guilty. Employing the strategy of quantitative research, the correlations of components of social profile students' perceived creativity and social competence were established. It was also identified that social competence acquires a prognostic meaning to expression of students' creativity. The research results will have a residual value in the scientific discussion about the social competence-based expression of students' creativity.

“…Imaginative and creative processes are an essential part of the equation. Creative processes, making new and imaginative ideas reality, have been researched by psychologists, neuroscientists, educators in the Arts, and more recently in business, for many years, but their essence resists true definition (Courtney, 1989;Demarin & Derke, 2020;Vygotsky, 1994). Moreover, creative people in the workplace are known to be flexible, intellectually curious, attracted to complex matters and willing to take risks and it is now recognised that people work better in offices designed to support creativity.…”

The digital economy and the global pandemic, together with the effects of climate change, have taken a human toll affecting the pace of everyday life, creating an exponential increase in anxiety and stress related diseases. Today's complex, globalised world creates a need to challenge and reconceptualise educational priorities. In an increasingly polarised world of beliefs and values, with a rise in populism and nationalism, empathy is essential. In order to function successfully, one needs to know who people are, and the whys and wherefores of their actions and beliefs. This article focuses on how the Arts and humanities can teach a new generation of life skills necessitated by our globalised society and the socio-political aspects of immigration. It discusses how embodied pedagogies help develop self-awareness, emotional regulation and affective empathy and reduce stress. The authors present Arts-based pedagogies and educational strategies that bring history, cultures and beliefs alive and help counteract hatred, tribalism and racism and the illusion of 'us and them.' The article examines what these changes in pedagogy can offer to the discourse, both in the need to keep body/mind healthy and acquisition of new skills necessary for adapting to a changing global environment and cultural /political landscapes.
