Arts in Business: Arts, redesign and cabin business

Arts in business - Kunst som læring

For too long we have let language be the main tool for learning despite the fact that there are many flaws to language as a communication tool. First of all it's problematic because people add different meanings to words depending on history, social influence, culture and personality. Second, it's shown that we all adapt knowledge in multiple ways, not only linguistic (eg. Gardener). It' long overdue that we look to the arts, not only as a tool for creating good experiences, but also as a tool for effective learning and communication.

This blog is dedicated to share knowledge about how we can use our creative skills to create a richer environment for knowledge sharing and learning in organizations, the schools and society.

Arts, redesign and cabin business

Went to Stokkøya in late October 2009 for the first time in unbelievable sunshine. The founders have used young creatives from Norway and Sweden and have let them played with basically local trash to make this a real redesign oasis. They have ended up with a beautiful site. Creative arts have definately made this place good business! A wonderful vision from a couple of wonderful people! Worth the visit. http://www.stokkoya.no.
