The Creatology Award
The Creatology Award is a certificate
awarded to participants for
- demonstrating mastery of creativity knowledge, and
- demonstrating mastery of their creative capacities and creative practices.
To qualify for the Creatology Award, participants must:
- enrol in Creatology
- submit the Satisfaction of Life Scale prior to beginning
- participate and complete the 10-week Creatology Curriculum
- create a project that demonstrates their advancing creativity either as an individual or with others in the group
- log their project’s development using the school’s in-built project progress logs to receive and provide accountability and collaborations
- create a “By the Book” book of their own creative guidance and reflections of their learning journey
and upon completion:
- submit an updated Satisfaction of Life Scale, and
- present their project and a self-evaluation at an online Presentation Ceremony. It is held three weeks after the last class to ensure participants have the time to complete their self-evaluations and projects, or the project’s current stage, and prepare their 10 minute presentation of these.
Please stay in Creatopia as an Alumni after you’ve finished Creatology!
It’s free for a lifetime.
Creatopia is a village that will always be offering PoP-Up Topics, Project Prods, Enterprise Eggs, and the Creatopia panels,
so if you’d like to:
- continue learning and growing and building your profile, creative networks and relationships, and projects etc,
- continue collaborating with others on your future project ideas or theirs
- continue using your project progress log, or even
- offer your projects to those within Creatopia to benefit from (it is a village after all),
you are more than welcome to stay on after you complete Creatology or graduate with the Award.

What kind of projects can Creatives create?
Our projects might be ones we have already begun and want to build upon and thereby reach the next stage, or an idea that we may or may not have begun looking in to, or an idea may not have come yet but we feel a creative ‘itch’.
Projects could include a new change, a solution, a lifestyle, a livelihood, a difference… something we love…
any idea or ideas we want to, need to, feel called to, create.
A business, a movement, a point of view, an exhibition, a peice of clothing or jewellery, a house, a film, balance, music, an event, a community, a piece of writing, an art work, a philosophy, a program, self-sufficiency, a front door to a home, a YouTube channel, a resculptured body, an app, a regenerated eco-system, a studio, an alternative way of trading, a policy, a piece of furniture, an animal run for the outdoors, a school, alternative power sources, an ecos, a picnic area, a decorated wall, a book, peace, a village, a food forest, a new sport, technology, a gift, a story, a resource of somekind… ideas are endless!
How could a Creatology Award help you?
The Creatology Award has been created under the influence of two factors:
1. The demand for people like you with advanced creative skills and knowledge is ENORMOUS.
All sorts of sectors are screaming for increased creativity…
educational, ecological, scientific, economic, technological, political, industrial, digital… even spiritual.
The only way they can become more creative is to have the staff on board who whose creative and co-creative skills are masterful because they understand what creativity and co-creativity are through both knowledge and experience.
Add the Award to your CV/resume… it may help you gain roles that are more suited to you.
You might even be able to approach organsations who value creativity to be considered for a new role of Creatologist within the it… someone who oversees the creative and co-creative health of a department or an organisation.
2. Because of this demand, our advanced Creatives need to SHiNE and SHOW IT.
All Creatives should be offered the opportunity to get to know their preference for creativity and learn how it is they create so they will always know what it takes.
And this work deserves all sorts of recognition, including an Award.
Most Creatives have not had, and will not find, the opportunity to study creativity itself unless they find a University degree with a comparable unit such as innovation, or critical thinking… but even then, creativity itself, including what it is, what it does, how it does it, creative capabilties, creative practices etc, are yet to be covered in these units.
Hang the Award on your wall and treasure the project you created… or even take your project to the next level again using it as a launchpad for your creative life.
The Award can remind you that you created from your inner something in your outer that is goooood, and that you have the power to do it again, and again, and again.
