Today we were at the 4th International Possibility Studies Conference @CamEdFac where @MissPhilbin @tom_doust presented our paper on ‘Measuring Imagination : Unveiling the impact of the Divergent Association Task on students’ creative thinking

[Institute of Imagination @ImaginationLdn]

Did you know that 78% of children believe that adults don't think play is important?
We're celebrating the first International Day of Play working with the children @School360_ using Six Bricks and Tricky Towers to design and build. We are delighted to be partnering with @LEGO_Group and @LEGOfoundation bringing the Power of Play to schools.

The UK’s creative industries bring in more revenue than cars, oil and gas... yet the UK government continues to make cuts to arts education and invest heavily in carbon intensive industries. Make sense to you?

[Tom Doust @tom_doust]

@PenAHay @robintransition Me too! I loved listening to the episode What if imagination was treasured as a central part of childhood? the dream team!

[Tom Doust @tom_doust]

At a time when we are all searching for hope and a future without suffering for all living things, I recommend a dose of #imagination presented here through @robintransition brilliant Ministry of Imagination Manifesto https://t.co/yHuLOC13ql

Hugely proud of all the fantastic work my colleagues @ImaginationLdn have achieved over the past year. Our new impact report brings it all together brilliantly

[Institute of Imagination @ImaginationLdn]

“School taught me the basics, the Institute of Imagination taught me to understand the future”.

Exciting news! 🎉
Our new Impact Report is here and we are delighted to share it with you!
Last year, children in underserved and under-represented communities participated 32,000 times in our activities in schools, at home and in their community and 83% increased their creative thinking skills in our iOi STEAM Live workshops.

Wonderful to share our imagination research with @PEDALCam in advance of tomorrow!#WorldImaginationDay Thanks @tom_doust

Israel has killed over 11,500 Palestinian children in Gaza and the West Bank since October 7th, when 36 Israeli children were killed.

It’s impossible to imagine that number. This is what it looks like. A line 5km long.

On world imagination day (14th March) we are asking the questions: how do you measure imagination? with fantastic guest speakers from @_TheFEA @LEGOfoundation @arcgroup_io Sign up here: https://t.co/d2FavrQogy

[Tom Doust @tom_doust]

Thank you @AndrewDessler for sharing this, recently quoted in this article: https://t.co/Xqm8gOyw1T
People... use your imagination to time travel into the future. It's urgent!

I just made a donation to Medical Aid for Palestinians https://t.co/chnw1DOvKX

[Tom Doust @tom_doust]

Demonstrating impact is challenging for most charities, particularly when your USP is intangible. But mainly it's about the experience you provide, the sense of joy felt and the thirst for more. Some might call it 'flow states'... we refer to it as applying your #imagination

[Institute of Imagination @ImaginationLdn]

For some children our work really is off the scale🌟🚀

Another incredibly successful term of workshops concluded this week. So much more innovation and creativity to come in the new year.

Have you begun your iOi journey? 👇
