Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VILNIUS TECH) Creativity and Innovation Centre “LinkMenu fabrikas” on 25th February 2022 hosted the third and the last multiplier event of the project “Creativity for Higher Education Engineering Teachers” (CHET).

The event started with the general presentation of the CHET project – many participants were not familiar with the project and its results, they were excited to know more and to test the platform as well as to learn how to apply creativity in their teaching. The target group of the multiplier event were engineering teachers from different organisations in Vilnius.

The organisers of the multiplier event chose to make it more practical and experiential, so the general presentation of the CHET project was followed by the tour at VILNIUS TECH “LinkMenu fabrikas” and presentation of creative projects implemented here.

Later on, the workshops in groups (6 groups in total) on application of creativity techniques started Team of VILNIUS TECH “LinkMenu fabrikas” presented different creativity techniques and explained practically how to aply them. The teachers turned into students here and had an opportunity to ask questions, test and understand how creativity techniques work and which results they can bring.

The CHET project was implemented during the period 2019-2022 under the Erasmus+ Programme by the European Union. The project aims to address technical higher education teachers with the skills and competencies to embed innovation and creativity in their teaching activities.
