Abstract

Fostering students’ creativity is one indicator for good teaching and learning in higher education. Recently, several approaches for fostering creativity in higher education have been developed. In Germany and other countries, innovative learning and teaching concepts that allow students to unfold their creativity have been put into practice. However, further education trainings for teachers have shown that teachers’ creativity has to be promoted in order to foster students’ creativity. The implementation of innovative learning scenarios is a creative process itself, and teachers need the courage to overcome fears that emerge in creative situations. In this paper, the connection between creativity and courage is shown and used to analyse the experiences that have been made with the task “do something unusual” in further education trainings.
