At BIC, we believe that education is crucial for fostering free will and independence, developing confidence in creative self-expression, and building critical thinking skills that, at the highest level, hold the power to change the world. Our creation and support of a diverse range of educational initiatives worldwide aims to inspire a lifelong love for learning in students of all ages.
For BIC Global Education Week this year, the BIC Corporate Foundation is helping bring creativity into the classroom. We have created the BIC Educator’s Activity Guides for Classroom Creativity, which propose activities for primary education level (ages 5-10) and secondary education level (ages 11-18). Our aim is to ignite a sense of curiosity and wonder in students through practical teaching methods that are simple to execute. These guides encourage educators to teach their normal curriculum, but use a teaching approach that builds curiosity in the classroom.
Thank you for taking part in our vision to build stronger, more inclusive, more creative classrooms for generations to come!
Share the creative activities you carry out with your students on LinkedIn and Instagram using the hashtag #BICGlobalEducationWeek.
We will be sharing your photos and videos on BIC social media accounts!
