Pathways to Connect Creativity and Sustainable Development

Pathways Towards Connecting Creativity and Sustainability provides multiple
disciplinary and thematic perspectives on how creative processes are brought
about and maintained for the purpose of sustainable development. The
complexity of Sustainable development challenges requires completely novel
solutions and change of mindsets. Therefore collective creativity is
essential. The book is inspired by the philosophy of ARTEM (ARts, Technology
&Management;), a transversal and transdisciplinary approach to scientific
research, learning and practice. It contributes to the ongoing discussion on
how creativity relates to sustainable development and is connected to the
discourse of the ARTEM Organizational Creativity Conference series. The book
is designed to offer the reader, academic or practitioner, the opportunity to
explore and rethink new paths and contexts for systematically connecting
sustainable development with creative approaches. The volume positions the
concepts of creativity and sustainability in a sound theoretical framework and
explores issues of practical and theoretical value covering a range of themes,
including:

– Reflections related to creativity and sustainable development,

– Arts, artistic interventions and embodiment,

– Methods and space for creativity in change and sustainable development,

– Sustainable community development,

– Corporate sustainability and creativity.

This volume profits from the variety of methodologies and case-based expertise
of the authors from various disciplines and origins.
