EPIC Cards were created for facilitators to intentionally teach and promote creative thinking among participants. These cards address several topics related to creativity - such as divergent thinking, reframing problems, challenging assumptions, looking at things in different ways, and learning new things about the world.
These cards can be used before, during, or between classes, during transitions, at the beginning of therapy sessions, or anytime you want to encourage participants to flex their creative muscles.
Activities are designed so that participants don't need any supplies or materials.
Cards are easily adaptable to individual, group, and work environment needs.
It's important to understand that EVERYONE IS CREATIVE! The process of coming up with creative ideas and products involves undergoing new experiences, challenging assumptions, looking at things differently, FAILING at any time, combining ideas, and so much more.
