Sinaia was, for one week, the most creative mountain resort in Romania. Between July 15 and July 20, 2019, the University of Bucharest in partnership with the National University of Theater and Cinematographic Art “I. L. Caragiale “, with the National University of Arts, with the University of Architecture and Urbanism “Ion Mincu” and with the National University of Music Bucharest, organized a new edition of the Creativity School. Bringing together more than 20 students from different faculties, the event proposed to the participants a series of interactive interdisciplinary workshops, supported by the most creative trainers. Awarded with the distinction for the most innovative course within the second Gala of the University Senate Awards in Bucharest, Cumpătu Creativity School offers students, MA candidates and doctoral students an interactive, multi, inter and transdisciplinary program, which aimed to stimulate and enhance their creative potential. The guests of this year’s edition were Phd prof. Liviu Papadima, Vice-rector of the University of Bucharest, Adrian Titieni, rector of the National University of Theater and Cinematographic Art “Ion Luca Caragiale” Bucharest, Dan Dediu, rector of the National University of Music Bucharest, associate professor Alexandra Crăciun and associate professor dr. Simona Popescu (UB), asist prof. Raluca Oancea (National University of Arts) and Francoise Pamfil (“Ion Mincu” University of Architecture and Urbanism). “It’s fascinating to see how, in an exercise of theater or creative writing, students from seemingly divergent areas of study: from physics, political science, music, architecture or chemistry come up with unique solutions, appropriate to their own training,” noted associate professor dr. Alexandra Crăciun, who held a workshop on innovation in branding. During the five days, the students participated in numerous workshops, and faced several challenges: going on hiking, making advertising clips, singing, and also having a lot of fun. And the ticket to access the most fun camp this summer was creativity. The full program of the event can be accessed here and you can see below the opinions of the trainees and students participating at the #Creativity School.
