Purpose
A thing designed intendedly.
To empower our global, creative social movement in its quest for the fulfillment of its beneficial creative work,
by helping our grassroots Creatives masterfully follow their creative way and therefore, SHiNE as the stars they are,
for their benefit and the benefit of others.
The School of Creatology takes a stand for Creatives
who aspire to bring their gifts, talents, passions, callings, points of view, visions, ideals, values, and interests to life, because each one is needed to form a better future.
Creatives’ desires can vary from living in self-expression and realising their selves and their creative potential, through to social and ecological (r)evolution for our childrens’ sake.
Vision
A thing that is seen.
To create a global, pioneering, online creative school graduating Creatologists, masters of Creativity.
To create an effective:
- subject of creativity (Creatology) for adults aged 18+, and students aged 15-18 years,
- co-creative school specialising in Creatology for adults aged 18+,
- subject of creativity (Creatology) available in secondary schools for students aged 15-16 (years 9 & 10).
Mission
A thing or things sent forth to create what’s seen.
To elevate Creatives’ creative capabilities and knowledge about creativity, while being creative in a co-creative culture.
Most Creatives struggle to light up and bring their gifts, interests, ideas etc, to life, because their creative natures and power are under-developed due to western education, and often their environments aren’t fully supportive or understanding.
SoC’s mission is the elevation of Creatives’ creative power and natures… their creative and co-creative knowledge, creative energies, creative capabilities, creative practices, and co-creative practices, through Creative Education.
Philosophy
A body of inquiry and wisdom.
Creatives should be encouraged and positioned so they can do what they do best… generate wellbeing and change.
Creatives should have the opportunity to learn about their preference for creativity and elevate their capacity for it.
If creativity generates wellbeing and change, if it is transformative, regenerative, and solves problems, and
if our current conditions are worsening,
Creatives need to bring their creativity forward… to be encouraged, supported, and positioned so they can do what they do best… to act upon their creativity so they, just like creativity itself, can generate wellbeing and change.
Social and Ecological Impact Theory
A person and people as a source of positive influence.
Does our creativity have the capacity to generate (r)evolutionary social and ecological change?
What social and ecological change can Creatives create if they elevate their creative skills and knowledge?
Could the scales of social and ecological justice become increasingly balanced?
If 25% of western society has a preference for creativity,
and creativity’s fundamental purpose is to generate new life and new growth,
could we have the number of people with the power needed to positively impact our ecology and society?
Is this what our creativity is designed to do?
“The true power of the people is more powerful than the people in power”.
