    The Second Day in IMCE Summer School.

Our day started with Creativity & Innovation: Social and Psychological Foundations with
Professor Dr. Guna Svence (RPIVA) from Latvia. As Dr. Guna Svence said: "all together we will make  new feelings, thoughts, aspects of perceptions about creation, we`ll be open, positive and playful, serious and as children - open with curiosity for innovations for life." The day sarted very good, because it was interesting to get to know how to preare and incubate to be creative.  We were doing dynamic activities, using our bodies as a way of expressing our feelings connecting with ourselves. Music has an important role on it since it let us to be more concentrated, taking into account individual and groups work, knowing that we also need from the others to create something inside us.


             When we very reflecting the day, we thought that movement and dance can be also be useful in the classroom setting. Teachers can perform a brief movement exercises prior to testing to help awaken the mind and help student gain the focus they need to perform their best work. They also noted an improvement in behavior after the students had completed the BrainDance. A music teacher in Minnesota reports that by taking five minutes at the start of each class to perform the BrainDance that she is able to accomplish much more than she ever had in the remaining twenty-five minutes remaining in the class. Students enjoy performing the movements of the BrainDance. Students report that the braindance makes them feel awake, ready to learn, alive, and calm (Simons, 2003).
       

      
        The Second part of the day was focused on models of  creativity and especially on process which takes into account the process that is connected with personality of people.  Preparation-> Incubation-> Illumination->Verification. The things you are taking in to account when you are making product (how to create something new with a team collaboration) and press (the importance of the environment to create the proper atmosphere to develop our creativity).
