Creative Education Foundation (CEF) – Where Brainstorming Began

The CEF YouthWise Program seeks to teach young people how to apply Creative Problem Solving to make positive changes in their own lives and to collaborate with youth and adults in their schools and communities to solve challenges creatively and for the common good.

The Journal of Creative Behavior is our quarterly academic journal citing the most current research in creative thinking. For nearly four decades JCB has been the benchmark scientific periodical in the field.

Your membership helps advance the field of creativity and supports programs that teach people how to think more creatively, have fresh insights, make better choices and effect positive change at home, at work and in communities.

CEF founder Alex Osborn knew it 60 years ago and social commentators know it today – imagination and ideas are the social capital that grows economies, integrates differences and changes individuals. Because of your interest and involvement in creativity, you know that ideas can transform the world.

The Creative Education Foundation has a global network of innovation experts and practitioners with a proven track record in new product development, problem solving facilitation, program development, training and coaching.
