On 5th and 6th April, at the educational centre Štore the second interactive youth workshop was held, gathering young people thirsty for knowledge, and we presented them practical work in the foundry.
We are aware that every creative contribution of the individual is at the same time a contribution to the success of the society and the company. Creativity and innovation are processes that largely represent a competitive advantage for the company. Material, social and spiritual capital is now closely linked to innovation processes.
An interactive creative workshop contributed to increasing the interaction of young people within the group and gave them an extra inspiration for successful further education in a fun way. The main purpose of the workshop is to achieve the culture of innovation and creativity. Through practical tasks, the group met with thinking outside the box and developed creative ideas. At the same time, the workshop enabled them to recognise the connection between communication, innovation and the team, and to anchor positive action for the completion of projects.
Through solving practical tasks, they have learned:
- How to identify and encourage innovation processes?
- How to think according to new untested paths?
- How to apply all this knowledge to life?
On the first day, we presented the workshop to the young people, we visited the museum of industrial heritage, and we presented them Kovis-Livarna d.o.o. along with the workshop content (product selection or design, drawing the casting, designing the core, production of the mould, casting simulation and 3D scanning). We also had a tour of the production facility. On the second day we solved the practical tasks and presented the results of the workshop to the representatives of the school and the factory.
The workshop was free for the participants, as the contribution of Kovis – Livarna d.o.o. to the development of innovation and creativity of young people.
In 2011, the workshop was awarded the Bronze award of GZS and RGZ Celje for innovation.
We open the door of innovation and inspiration for future success of young people!
