Idea Jam: Imagination Inside The Box: Finding creativity when you can’t see outside of the box
Hosted by Stan Baines
Are you inside the box in your environment? Is creative thinking limited by your work or the rules of the system. This session will take a look at creativity and imagination ideas when the environment you are in is inside the box. Our open discussion will look at ways and ideas to shine your creativity when the lid on the box isn’t always open.

Idea Jam: Creative Art and the CBU Strategic Plan
Hosted: Todd Hiscock & Janet Kuhnke
Creative Arts activities can play an important role in Cape Breton University’s (CBU) engagement with the five mandates of the strategic plan. We invest in our students when we provide courses and activities that foster creative expression. The ability to apply creative solutions to difficult problems is highly valued in the workplace. For this reason, the experiences that we can provide have impacts across programs.
Many faculty and staff are already engaged in creative activities both in the classroom and through membership in arts-based societies and groups. By providing opportunities within programs, on campus and within the community, we benefit from an untapped resource. Shared creative activities involving faculty, staff and students create a unique collegial experience.

EMERGENCE 2022 Reshaping the Future of the World through Art
Hosted by the Canadian Society for Education through Art and the Ontario Art Education Association.
Taking place in Ottawa, Ontario.
Conference Theme: Emergence occurs when divergent, multiple, and at times contrasting elements interact and come into relation within a larger system. We turn to art so that we can open spaces for radical and transformative collaboration. We invite everyone to re-imagine how the world can be reshaped by visual art for the future and to address emergent art education themes including decolonization, gender, social activism, accessibility, environmentalism, wellness, creative process, play, intersectionality, and embodiment.
