About
The #creativeHE community supports pedagogical rebels and free-thinking innovators in developing, sharing, and getting support for novel learning and teaching ideas. Together we aim to transform the student and staff experience within and beyond institutional boundaries.
Members of #creativeHE share a common interest in creativity and innovation in learning, teaching, and research. Our values as a team, decided through online democratic dialogue, are: creative, open, caring, collegial, collaborative, rebellious and trailblazing.
Since the global pandemic, our open mic events held online have provided an accessible and inclusive way to share work and listen to the creative contributions of others from around the globe.
The #creativeHE community was founded in 2015 as an extension to the Greenhouse, a community of practitioners across Manchester Met, which it replaced after December 2016. It became an open, cross-institutional community with six institutional team members who shared a common interest in creativity and knew each other professionally at the time. Today, #creativeHE is led by a team of 16 individuals across 14 organisations in three countries.
Who should join?
The community is open to all educators, students and the wider public who are interested in exploring creativity in learning and teaching and related scholarship and research within and beyond the UK.
