Local Research• Interested participants from the 4 target groups were identified after a
call for interest to participate in the project.
• Workshops and interviews were conducted in Palermo, Bologna, London and Malta.
• A preliminary study of the findings from these workshops was carried out.
• The major barriers and challenges faced by members of the target groups were identified.
Implementing the ideas
Phase 2
Development of the new Creative Thinking tool

and refined according to their feedback
Developing the new tool
Phase 4
Dissemination
• The final Creative Thinking tool will be disseminated across the EU through the project website (www.handmadecreativethinking.eu)and
