Creativity

Creativity is generally believed to be something external and attainable but, in fact, we as humans are first and foremost creation. We are creativity from the moment we exist since we come into being out of an incomparable change. Naturally, the course of our life comes with layers (cultural, personal, conscious, unconscious) which, although protective, are overlapping and may eventually dull our inner essence. There are resources at IE intended to offer experiences that identify audience’s inner creativity, promote divergent thinking, are likely to becoming opportunities for growth with the power to form and transform further micro-communities.

  • IE Creativity Center

    IE Creativity Center is a thriving Community, an enterprise intended to offer experiences around Arts, Humanities and Self-Awareness methodologies with the power to transform wider audiences.

    The Center is a ubiquitous resource, a way of thinking serving as avenue to help developing individuals’ full potential. Though Segovia-based, it has recently landed in the IE Tower and will launch activity in María de Molina anytime soon.
