Unlocking Creative Thinking Through Art Workshops in Tokyo
In an age where creativity and innovative thinking are paramount, organizations are realizing the importance of fostering an environment that encourages fresh ideas and diverse perspectives. One way to achieve this is through the practice of 'art thinking'. On October 2, 2025, Trustyyle, a Tokyo-based company, will host a unique workshop titled 'How to Create and Use Art Thinking' at the HR Library located in Ningyocho.
This hands-on workshop aims to demystify the concept of art thinking for HR professionals, executives, and managers who are eager to integrate this approach into their workplaces. With 'art thinking', participants can learn to view challenges through a creative lens and appreciate the diverse viewpoints of their colleagues.
The workshop is structured around three key experiences: observing artwork, engaging in discussions about the feelings and insights that arise from these observations, and expressing oneself through art blocks. This process is designed to help participants break free from mental rigidity and develop a more flexible mindset. By doing so, they can uncover new ideas and approaches that may have previously gone overlooked.
This workshop is highly recommended for HR professionals, executives, and managers who want to create a safe and open workplace, free from conventional thinking patterns. If you aim to stimulate innovative thinking or seek effective communication among diverse working styles, this workshop could be the perfect fit. Additionally, those interested in preventative measures for mental health issues, such as absenteeism or turnover, will find valuable insights.
