You will discover new ways to:

  • Energize your team
  • Generate more ideas
  • Improve employee engagement
  • Have more fun at work
  • Create space for acceptance and inclusion

Creative Expression in Transformative Learning:
Tools and Techniques for Educators of Adults


Check out Pamela's Chapter "Improvising Learning Space" in this inspiring new book on using arts-based strategies to foster transformative learning.


Transformative learning is a theory of adult education that focuses on the profound changes-or transformations-that can occur in the lives of adults. It is not as concerned with incremental advances in learners' knowledge as it is with their mental frameworks for making meaning from life experiences. This book explores the role of creative expression in this transformational process. It provides a practical and accessible approach to using creative expression with adult learners. The book provides various tools, methods and creative modalities that have been used to promote transformative learning, and discusses how adult educators themselves are transformative learners.
