CforC European Project Workshop at LABA Valencia
Erasmus+ European project Care for Creativity (CforC)
Coordinator: EDUVenture Foundation
Partner: LABA Valencia School of Art, Design and New Media
As part of the European Care for Creativity (CforC) project, coordinated by EDUVenture + LABA Valencia, a workshop on creative stress management was held.
Coordinated by Mirjam Hillenius and Cosette Reyes, the workshop brought designers, teachers and students together in a collaborative workspace.
During the session, participants discussed factors influencing the emotional well-being of individuals engaged in creative processes, such as a lack of clarity in assignments or professional pressure. Through group activities and practical exercises, they created proposals to address these challenges. These included a mini-manual for each designer to use as a communication guide, as well as checklists and recommendations for self-care in day-to-day work, and task analysis templates. The meeting included a reflection session where participants shared what they had learnt. The importance of accepting imperfection in creative work was emphasised, as was the value of persevering in the face of excessive demands.
