The Creatology Award
The Creatology Award is a certificate that is totally optional to Participants of Creatopia.
It is 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 need to:
- complete Creatology, the Subject of Creativity
- participate in all Creatology Classes either:
- self-directed and self-paced, choosing which badged classes to do and when to do them over any length of time, in the Creatopia Village for AUS$44 per month, OR

- log your project’s development using the school’s in-built project progress logs to receive and provide accountability and collaborations, and
- create a “By the Book” book of your own creative guidance and reflections of your learning journey
and upon graduation:
- submit an updated Satisfaction with Life Scale, and
- present your project and a self-evaluation at an online Presentation Ceremony.
Graduation is held two weeks after the last class to ensure you have the time to complete your self-evaluation and project, or the project’s current stage, and prepare your 10 minute presentation of these.

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.
