Review Quotes:
'The publication is engaging and intellectually provoking. It challenges the reader to view creativity as a universal phenomenon with specific cultural and country-specific mediated practices. While it emphasises the socio-cultural nature of creativity, its international approach is particularly useful for teacher educators and practitioners from all countries in extending their understanding of creativity through its many different manifestations. The examples of creative assessment tasks and methods make it a very practical book, but its insights also provide an important message for policymakers with policy recommendations to view creativity as a key competence for future generations of teachers and their learners.'
