Creativity... It is a vision of the future for a more just and solidary mankind It is a dreamt and accomplishable utopia to sharpen the talent and the inventive power in the betterment of our living conditions It is sensibility and a lively understanding capable of creating beauty, art, and the best productions of imagination and fantasy of the genii of mankind It is the search and invention of new paths and goals, of new styles of work and relationship, of an active and communicative dynamics of sociability and leisure, of a new style of leadership and organisation which impulses the collective desire of self-fulfilment, releasing the human being from oppressions and repressions, from subtle domination and manipulative impositions which prevents him to be himself, autonomous and free It is a critical and creative vision over mediocrity and routine, the conflict and the dissatisfaction, based on the principle that these have infinite solutions if everyone is able of dreaming and imagining, of thinking and acting divergently; and that to achieve this it is necessary to develop, in a generalised way, the inventive thinking and action of every citizen from RECREARTE by David de Prado |

This sub-theme is based on the use of the relevant unit of the Science Across the World project. Science Across provides a forum for the students to exchange facts and opinions with young people in other countries through a series of topics on environmental and social science issues.
1. If you are new to SAW and you need to find out about it, please, visit the Web site: www.scienceacross.org
2. Choose a SAW topic relevant to the theme "Mobility and ICT", such as Road safety, Global warming, Acid rain, etc.
3. SAW shall give a booklet with the unit you choose for free to those teachers that will use a SAW unit for preparation to the CEI-GEYC 2002. If you need one, you should write to SAW secretariat Karen Shoebottom and communicate your intention to us.
"ICT in Sustainable Mobility"
IIIEE (International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics) has developed a course on:
"Preventive environmental strategies"
to be used in the school as a foundation to the main
concepts in sustainability. Teachers that have filled the
form for Expression of interest and are willing to
participate to the GEYC network will get the course CD Rom
for free.
The materials (documents and activities) are available on the Web.
Visit the Web site: www.lamp.polito.it/consci
A version on CD is under production and will be sent for free to the teachers that will use it as a basis for their school project.
