Rethinkers - Growing Creative Learning Communities - Background:
ReThinkers is a leading company in the Arab World established on the
aspiring vision of highly skilled experts and professionals in the
domains of giftedness and creativity. One of their main aims is to
enable the development of creativity, creative thinking and problem
solving in business and education in Jordan.
Since 2014 they have
launched and held many educational workshops in the fields of thinking
and emotional intelligence with a variety of leading figures
inside/outside the Arab Region.
In 2017 Rethinkers embarked on a
partnership with Thinking Matters. The aim is to develop thinking
schools in Jordan and Rethinkers have completed the first phase of
training. Thinking Matters trained the whole team based in Jordan,
covering all the main Thinking Schools elements and components.
ReThinkers has started to expand and spread the culture of teaching
thinking in Arabic schools in the Middle East. They have reached some
very distinguished schools that are beginning their own journeys to
adopting a whole school approach to the teaching of thinking.
Rethinkers
believe very strongly in the Thinking Matters approach and concepts and
are focused to deliver them to different segments in their society.
They have already included them in many forums that were attended by
groups of participants from the Arabian Peninsula.
In March 2018,
ReThinkers held its fourteenth forum for creativity and emotional
intelligence by the supervision of Dr. Lana Almbayden and Dr. Tareq
Rasheed.
