Our Story
The Origins of GIoCT
“Rarely do we have a prophet to predict our futures, but sow the right seeds and the harvest will come”
– Frankie Lowe
The seed for the Global Institute of Creative Thinking started from a conversation that I had with my tutor. We were discussing the rigid structures teachers were expected to work within and how this surely is imparted on students as they learn.
Then, as a young teacher, my eyes were opened. From this exchange of words, I learned that my future role as an educator would be to encourage my students to think for themselves. It would not be to impose limitations and boundaries on these young impressionable minds. Little did I know then that this discussion would one day form the all-important foundations for GioCT, established in 2018.
Setup as an institute in the UK, and now a registered charity, GIoCT has always stayed true to its roots, our mission remains the same, to nurture creative thinkers, empower those we teach, and inspire futures. We want to make a purposeful contribution with the seeds we plant to bring about meaningful lifelong learning. We do not own nature. We plant and nurture trees and they grow in their own diverse, unique way. How much more so with the minds of the future, each should become a masterpiece.
