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.
CEF YouthWise is an outreach program of the Creative Education Foundation, addressing two of its key focus areas:
• Creative education and youth, and
• Creative communities and cities.
CEF YouthWise offers children and youth an experiential introduction to the Osborn-Parnes Creative Problem Solving (CPS) Process and the principles of Applied Imagination and creativity. Its purpose is to provide participants with the tools, strategies and techniques of CPS so they can apply them proactively to challenges in their lives, their schools and their communities. CEF YouthWise is presented by qualified CEF leaders, members and teachers.
