AN INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM ON MANAGEMENT OF CREATIVITY & INNOVATION
The Summer School offers a unique and privileged opportunity for 60 participants from different countries and backgrounds to explore and compare two ecosystems in creative and innovative cities, Montreal and Barcelona, as well as to tap into new sources of inspiration on how to create environments that stimulate innovation.
The participants learn best practices on innovation through a privileged contact with influential leaders and thinkers, along the renowned creators, professionals and managers who have all made their mark in a variety of different fields (new technologies, design, architecture, gastronomy, performing arts, video games and so on). This is achieved through company visits, seminars, interactive workshops and co-creation projects.
With this experience, participants discover new techniques and management tools to facilitate innovation and creativity in businesses. From this diversity in action, participants generate a vibrant and enduring community, rich in new ideas, coupled with a collective desire to change the rules of the game and to break out of silos.
