Workshop on Innovation to Students of the 1st Experiential Learning Primary School in Thessaloniki by Dr Nikolaidis

Dr Dimitrios Nikolaidis, Head of the Business Administration and Economics Department delivered a very interesting and at the same time different Workshop on Innovation to a younger audience than usual. 10-year old primary school students of the 1^st Experiential Primary School of Thessaloniki had the opportunity to learn how to express innovative thinking in the 2-hour workshop entitled ‘Imagine. Think. Create. Cultivating Innovation in School’ that took place 20 May 2015.

The workshop aimed at cultivating and awakening children’s innovation and business thinking skills by empowering their communication and team works skills, their critical thinking and ability to make decisions as well as follow ethical business practice.

Separated in teams of six, the students worked to solve real prblems, discussed and gave their own solutions and suggestions. All answers were well-defended and in some cases impressive.

The students and their teachers enjoyed Dr Nikolaidis’ Workshop and reported that they learnt a lot and enjoyed it at the same time.
