Pedagogy and student life

In order to learn about and understand the specificities of the sector, the teaching of creative industries management necessarily calls for innovation. The centre of expertise carries out an immersive pedagogy that fosters imagination, autonomy, self-esteem, a sense of responsibility and social competence, critical thinking and problem-solving skills. 

Examples of pedagogical activities: 

• Courses in situ (in cultural and creative organisations): courses and visits on site, study trips to creative cities and territories (London, Provence, Nantes, Lille...);
• Personal and professional development through creativity techniques integrated in different courses: bodystorming, design thinking, meditation (mindfulness),... ;
• Real cases: pedagogical exercises in the form of face-to-face missions with companies in the industry;
• Meetings and co-working: collaboration with students in art or design schools (for example: Chinese designers/engineers in Shanghai on the theme "Technology, Innovation and Fashion");
• Integrated active social networks: Facebook Creative industries KEDGE alumni group (700 participants) and for each course, Twitter from the centre of expertise, LinkedIn from researchers, etc.
