The Power of Imagination: How Creativity Shapes the Brain
Imagination isn’t just child’s play – it’s one of the most powerful tools our brain possesses. Through science-based exercises and thought experiments, discover why evolution didn’t develop the capacity for imagination by chance, and what creativity truly means for your everyday life.
We invite you to take a fresh look at something we all have, but rarely understand – imagination.
About This Workshop
In this workshop we’ll explore the evolutionary significance of imagination and why creativity was key to human survival and development. We’ll discuss how creative thinking develops, what role play has in the behavior of children and adults, and how imagination and creativity shape the learning process – in both young and adult minds.
Special focus will be placed on the importance of critical thinking – how to recognize, develop, and apply it in everyday situations.
Interactive component
The workshop includes hands-on exercises and thought experiments that demonstrate how creative and critical thinking work in practice.
About the instructor:
Andrea Čontoš is a master neurobiologist with a focus on neuropsychology and behavioral sciences, a certified behavioral forensic expert, and a certified intellectual skills trainer.
She is the author of the book “The Art of Thinking”, aimed at developing individual thought processes, and the founder of the educational center “Brain Factory”.
Through educational programs for improving mental, emotional, and behavioral resources and skills, she has since 2015 helped thousands of people in the private and professional sectors learn to use advanced mental abilities for a better quality of life.
