Course content
The course "Innovative Thinking" is one of the optional courses. The main idea of the proposed course is to create a philosophical and scientific innovative startup in the humanitarian field based on the real experience of innovative activities in the humanitarian sphere of modern Ukraine. The purpose of developing a startup is to fulfill one's own intellectual inquiry in a chosen practical and applied field. To this end, theoretical classes involve discussions of philosophical and scientific literature to build a methodological framework for designing a future research program, and practical classes involve analyzing and evaluating the results presented for discussion. As a result of of their own research efforts, students have to master the essence and features of innovative thinking both through the conceptualization of this phenomenon and the real experience of its application in the humanitarian sphere, and master the skills of innovative thinking. The result of the training is a final philosophical and humanitarian project (startup) as a personal experience of innovative thinking. Classes are held in the form of discussion and interactive lectures, seminars, and workshops.
