How do we, as teachers see'd the imagination?
In the 21st century, how do we cultivate the imagination? Traditionally our educational system has been built on the assumption that teaching is necessary for learning to occur. Accordingly, education has been seen as a “process” of transferring information from a higher authority (the teacher) down
to the student. This model, however, doesn't work in developing the capacity to ignite original thinking.
True knowledge occurs when information becomes embodied understanding; we have to act in the world to understand it. This is why imagineer.me will not give you recipes. Instead of a how-to guide that offer task-specific formulas, we give you principles that transcend any single context.

So where do we begin?....... at the beginning.
We must have imaginative teachers if we want creative schools.
Think about it this way, just say I have a recipe and I give it to 100 teachers. We will get 100 versions of the recipe. If those same teachers teach students to follow that recipe we will get more of the same.
Alternatively imagine I gave those 100 teachers five ingredients on a table, left them to it and asked them to come up with a recipe. Can you imagine how many new and novel meal ideas we’d get? What if they gave the same analogous task to students? What if there was no wrong or right, grade or judgement. It was just fun and creative.

Why not start learning?
Watch. Learn. Improve.
The V (visual) series of courses are part of a cluster of imagination/visual learning disciplines that form a turning point in imagination training.
V1_The Neuroscience of Imagination lays the foundation for a better understanding of what creativity is and how to develop it. It is also the beginning of visual learning.
V1 to V9 follow on from each other in order to build on skills as participants journey through the imagination learning process.
These thinking processes directly affect our ability to be better critical thinkers and absolutely develop our ability to be imaginative and therefore more creative.
