SUMMARY:Creativity and Innovation Certificate
DESCRIPTION:Dates: Live Module Dates are October 13-15\, 12 – 1:30 PM EST \n  \nAbout \nAre you an educator\, individual\, entrepreneur\, entrepreneurial group\, or start-up? Are you interested in learning\, teaching\, creating\, funding\, and implementing solutions to address social\, environmental\, and cultural issues in your community? \n  \nIf you answered yes to any of the questions above\, then you must register for the ICSB Global Creativity and Innovation Certificate. Support your current or future career by adding the ICSB Global CI certificate to your repertoire of entrepreneurship training. \n  \nYears ago\, creativity and innovation were mainly associated with art\, entertainment or recreation\, and only in very particular cases\, it was related to the world of organizations. However\, this has changed. Currently\, innovation and in particular\, creativity\, is considered fundamental in different areas. This can be seen in a report about the future of work published by the World Economic Forum in 2016\, where creativity is among the three most important skills required for 2022. \n  \nThis presents a serious demand that organizations have to be innovative for their own competitiveness in a global context. Furthermore\, they have to create new products and services to stay relevant. Innovation is decisive with respect to the levels of competitiveness in companies\, sectors and also in the economy of the countries. In today’s business\, executives and organizations must carry forward professional innovation management in their particular context. In other words\, each organization or entrepreneur must model their businesses in a unique combination that allows them to detect opportunities for innovation and successful execution capabilities. \n  \nRegistration Form

SUMMARY:Breaking Barriers & Changing Boundaries: Redefining a Woman’s Role in the Arab World
DESCRIPTION:“As women\, we have too many responsibilities: We are daughters\, We are mothers\, We are wives\, We are engineers\, We are lawyers\, We are doctors\, We are entrepreneurs\, We are caregivers to family members old and young which contributes to us having the lowest rate of labor force participation in the Arab peninsula. And yet\, We are and can be so much more”. \nThe status of a woman has long been discussed with reforms touching every aspect to get the woman where she needs to be. One of the most interesting areas reigned by contradiction is the Arab World\, where women’s literacy and education achievement are high yet the expectation of its usage for a sustainable financial income remains low and inconsiderate. \nA personal experience will touch down on different aspects of the Arab Female Entrepreneurship and pinpoint Lebanon with its envisioned meltdown and how women are at the forefront of the path to a prosperous Lebanon \n  \nLed by: Ms. Terry Bitar

SUMMARY:Inspire Healing through Art\, Painting a Dot Mandala
DESCRIPTION:Prepare for a dynamic group discussion regarding the power of healing through art. We will be painting a dot mandala\, created with various tools we have in our home\, no brushes will be used.

The circle is completed with repetitive designs which creates a meditative state in our minds. Have you ever thought about the psychological impact of color we surround ourselves with in our homes\, our clothes\, even our cars? We will discuss color choices. Lines are the first and most basic component of artwork. Does a straight line invoke a different emotion than a curved line? Come enjoy a quick art class and feel the healing! No previous art experience is needed. \nSupply list:  \nAll of these items can be purchased at Michaels\, Hobby Lobby or the Dollar Tree. \n6″ x 6″ canvas panel \nAcrylic paints-Black\, White\, Green and Red\, or colors of your choice. \nCraft Glitter Paints to coordinate with your color choices.

SUMMARY:Cooperative Management of Protected Areas and National Park - Case study: Healing Island\, Yeongsando
DESCRIPTION:Most of the national parks in South Korea have beautiful natural ecosystems and are preserved in farming and fishing villages. In these villages\, most of the local residents living there are aging\, and labor production is gradually decreasing\, requiring new alternatives to revitalize these village communities. Under these circumstances\, the Korean National Park Service has worked on a big project developing the “luxury village” as an alternative to raise both the income of residents and the value of national parks. Working to utilize well-preserved ecosystems and landscapes along with cultural resources is the overall approach being utilized and a total of seventeen of these villages have been built so far. The first was the luxury village of Dadohae Haesang Marine National Park in 2010. The most successful case of a “luxury village” has been the “Yeongsando Luxury Village.” The strategies that have enabled successful cooperation between national parks and local residents and helped to transform this location into a sustainable tourism destination are examined in further detail. \nLed by: Dr. Soyoung An

SUMMARY:Transdisciplinary Collaborations in Neuroscience\, Art and Related Therapeutics
DESCRIPTION:Transdisciplinary collaboration is the future of knowledge-making in advanced post-industrial societies\, and there is a growing awareness that the most vexing problems we face cannot be solved by any single discipline. Current best practices for complex and challenging physical and mental disorders require a multi-disciplinary approach\, yet there remains a void in bridging the gap between the most contemporary models. The profession of art therapy embraces the variances of subjective artistic expression and its value in representing more completely the psyche of the individual\, while neuroscientists typically strive for precise data acquisition in advancing the understanding of brain structures and functions. This talk is about the collaboration between neuroscience\, art\, and therapeutics\, with a focus on how cognitive neuroscience informs art therapy theory\, applications\, and research for people who endure psychological stress and trauma. \n  \nLed by: Professor Juliet King
