What are creativity skills? It is difficult to define this concept in a few lines. In summary, it can be defined as:
The concept of creativity has changed over time. In fact, while initially it was considered an exclusive characteristic of artists, now it is considered an attitude applicable to every field of human activities.
On the whole, creativity is a way of thinking, and therefore of acting, which is founded on a balance between deduction and intuition, reason and imagination, emotion and reflection, divergent and convergent thinking.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, all of us have had to rediscover the concept of resilience. That is a term (originally belonging to the world of science) that defines the ability to resist shocks with elasticity. In the human sphere it is the characteristic that allows each of us to overcome difficulties by adapting our way of being and acting to new situations. A creative mind is naturally predisposed to resilience, because already normally (not in a pandemic period) it is used to putting itself to the test in the tortuous processes of experimentation, which characterize those who try, in various fields, to arrive at new solutions different from the usual standards. For this reason, in most cases, creative personalities have been able to face the challenges of the pandemic in a proactive way (and can help others to do the same).
