About the ConferenceIn our dynamic, accelerating societies, innovation and

creativity are on the agenda of economical, political

and social actors. According to specific rationalities,

global, national, institutional and professionaldiscourses on future, innovation and creativity differ

greatly. In this polyphonic structure, some voices

are heard more than others and some paradigms

have become dominant: especially the market and

economic growth paradigm even at present seems

to be unquestionable. In an obviously more and more

challenged world, the global polyphonic scenery now

has the potential to open up towards new ideas and

visions. The role of public universities being under

debate and the public mission of the university being

reframed: How will universities interpret the present

trends? According to dominant discourses, the

university should become an economically shaped

institution to advance and promote the production of

market knowledge. Will universities react or respond

to this market-pressure? And how will universities

contribute to develop our common future?

Nowadays, many academics and intellectuals intend

to create and open up old and new spaces for critical

reflection, for new ideas, visions for the future and

alternative developmental paths. Reflecting on the

idea and potential, mission and responsibility of

the university helps to open up and foster spaces

for a critical and transformative institution that

shifts academic self-concepts from (dis-)interested

scholarship towards the promotion of global

citizenship. So what is the potential of universities,

to contribute to a sustainable development and to

strategies of happiness and wellbeing?

An alternative development agenda addresses

the interconnectedness of economical and social

development to academic knowledge creation and as

well to higher education. Knowledge for development,

development education and education for

sustainable development approaches show that

education has become central to development and

community development. Democratic participation of

all groups (especially women) in the developmental

process is understood as foundational. What are the

paradigms of development education that suggest

new possibilities and spaces for development that

take advantage of emerging world trends, critical

knowledge development paths and the role of

education in these processes?

At a local and global level, new communications-

and information-technologies open up towards the

emerging paradigm of development education. Global

knowledge development brings about an open global

society as well as the development of trust-relationships

within learning societies. Open knowledge and

open knowledge production and related models

like peer production and peer governance provide

emerging alternatives to traditional proprietary

models of knowledge production. The agenda of

non-rivalry, coproduction and collaboration defines

new developmental trajectories, where sustainability,

happiness and wellbeing become relevant at the level

of individuals, communities, institutions and societies.

The 3rd Creative Universities Conference is being held

in the Royal University of Bhutan in the Kingdom of

Bhutan which has promoted the concept of happiness

and wellbeing as an alternative developmental

paradigm. Organized jointly by the Institute for GNH

Studies (iGNHaS), International Creative Universities

Network (ICUN), the Global Studies program of

Waikato University, New Zealand and the Future

Education, Groups and Organization Studies

(FUEGOS) Center Initiative at Philipps-University of

Marburg, Germany, the conference aims to open up

an international polylogue on the role and potentials

of a Creative University, effectively advancing the

notions and potentials of creative development.

The conference offers spaces for different kinds of

papers and workshops. In order to connect theoretical

reflections with creation, the practices of the conference

combine different ways and formats of learning.

Traditional (theoretical, methodological, empirical

or conceptual) papers will be presented in assigned


5/32


314-16 April 2014

fora and connected to developmental workshops.

Like this, the bridging of different ways of thinking, the

emergence of thought out of practice will be supported.

In order to explore integrated ways of learning, in

workshop sessions, body and artistic interventions

will be especially welcome. Combined with traditional

academic approaches, the conference will enable the

participants to engage in a transformative learning

process through dialogue, introspection and self

reflection. This leads to a deepening of understanding

of how the creative university intersects its functioning

with what the new development paradigm should look

like. Also, the notion of co-creating and of enabling to

prototype change as social practice is a principle to

be followed here.

Forum 1: Creativity and the educational mode of

development

Exploring the Agenda of Creative University and

Creative Development leads to reflections on the

educational mode of development. What are different

notions of the educational mode of development?

What role can universities play in developing a new

agenda of institutional creativity? Which actors and

groups of actors (do & can) initiate transitions towards

integrated developmental strategies? Which role do

diversity, heterogeneity and inequality of actors play

and how can this be researched as well as addressed

in institutional strategies? What are different notions

and concepts in order to foster equality and wellbeing?

How is the relationship between creative economy,

creative university and creative development shaped

in discourses of the presence, how can it be analyzed?

Workshop 1: Creating Developmental Spaces and

supporting Actors of Change

How do we create developmental spaces in our

universities, societies, economies and cross sector

innovation strategies? How can actors in creative

universities and institutions in society and economy be

supported to create happiness and wellbeing? How

can students, staff, faculty, leadership, management,

community become involved? How can we develop

positive relationships and functional structures for our

vision of the university and its relationship to society,

communities and economy? How can transitory

spaces, think spaces and creativity labs arise and

be fostered by educational institutions, economical

actors, organizations and initiatives in society?

Forum 2: Creative University: Strategies of

Creation and Creative Development of the Future

Which patterns and grammars of awareness are

the basis for the practice of organizational change

towards an integrated development perspective? How

do organizational awareness cultures contribute to the

support, negotiation, dilution or prevention of creativity?

Which notion of the idea of university brings about

real change? How can creative development and

possibilities for change be supported and how can the

interaction and contradictions between bureaucratic,

market-oriented and communal organizational cultures

be opened by awareness rising and mindfulness?

What can other partnering institutions contribute in

an overarching cross sector innovation perspective?

Workshop 2: Developing and Discovering

Mindfulness approaches to teaching, learning and

development

How can spaces of awareness, mindfulness and

creative approaches in organizations emerge and be

implemented? What are strategies of creation and

practices belonging to a true mindfulness approach?

How can a network culture of future orientation, of

mindfulness and sustainability be created and how

can it contribute regularly to positive dynamics of

institutional change? Which kinds of ideas of university,

of economy and society are brought about by a

different practice? How does mindfulness integrate

and fit together with other learning intentions? Which

kinds of developmental paths can be created here?

What are the knowledges and paths to happiness and

wellbeing?

Forum 3: Methodology and Methods of (action-)

research

What is the best way to theoretically and empirically

reconstruct organizational, institutional and network


6/32



rules of creating creative organizing? Which

methodological strategies and methods are best

suited to empirically analyze the emergence and

implementation of open and creative futures in

organizations? How are new and established methods

combined in exploring the complex and multilevel

phenomenon of creativity and future orientation in

organisations, economy and society? What is the

potential of innovative research designs? What is the

benefit of multi-methods and triangulation approaches?

How can action-research contribute to address both

research and change? What is the implications and

possibilities for organizational transformation in society

and economy - and academic knowledge creation?

Workshop 3: Using Action-(Research) for the

transformation of society

How can we inspire change agents, actors and

communities to develop in a mindful way? How can

we use a methodology of action research focusing on

the notion of action? How to use culturally adequate

methods, which inspire articulation and envisioning

desired futures? What is methodology and methods

of creative action research and organizing in our

societies, economy and university? What are new

potentials for action research approaches in an

interdisciplinary and international perspective? Which

knowledges and paths can be created by open

developmental strategies of innovation?

Forum 4: Creativity, Open Science & Travelling

Ideas

Exploring the question of creative economy, creative

university and creative development is related to the

debates on open science and to making ideas travel.

This forum provides space for the discussion of the

dimensions of the New, related to open science and the

role of creative university for a creative economy and

creative development. What are different patterns and

options of generating creative futures and awareness

in organizing? What is the nature of open science

and open education and how can international

program development contribute to the creation of a

global structure and global flows of travelling ideas

and travelling universities? What are the paths into

a sustainable future and the paths of sustainability

oriented university programs?

Workshop 4: Ideas and practices of partnerships,

co-operations and the development of academic

programs

What are ideas and practices, which contribute to a

cross sector innovation approach and to an outreach

of university to community learning, volunteerism

and nation building as well as cosmopolitism? How

does the creative university develop relationships

outside academia to community, government and

industry? What are risks and possibilities of public

private co-operations, partnering and innovating

across sectors? What are technological requirements

to realize international and global cooperation? How

can decentralized and multi-campus settings be

made fruitful in a global world? How can peer to peer

technologies contribute to develop global education

approaches? What can universities contribute to the

educational mode of development?
