Unlocking the Power of Creativity: A Journey Through Mythology, Philosophy, and Neuroscience

At Al-Maktoum College, we are dedicated to offering enriching opportunities for intellectual exploration and growth. Recently, we were thrilled to host a thought-provoking session led by Melike Sabak, an expert psychologist, who delved into the fascinating realm of creativity.

This engaging event brought together diverse participants eager to uncover the secrets of innovative thinking and the universal potential for creative expression.


Exploring the Universal Nature of Creativity

Melike Sabak’s session offered a unique multidisciplinary approach to understanding creativity, drawing insights from:

  • Mythology, which provides timeless stories of innovation and ingenuity.
  • Philosophy, which questions the essence of creativity and its role in human development.
  • Neuroscience, which reveals the cognitive mechanisms underpinning creative thought.

By weaving these perspectives together, Sabak demonstrated how creativity transcends disciplines, cultures, and eras, underscoring its universal relevance.


Practical Insights for Developing Creative Potential

Participants left the session with more than just theoretical knowledge—they gained actionable strategies for fostering their own creative thinking. Highlights included:

  • Techniques to nurture originality in daily life and professional settings.
  • An understanding of the cognitive processes behind idea generation and problem-solving.
  • The recognition that creativity is not reserved for a select few but is an innate potential within all of us.

These insights empower individuals to harness their creativity, whether for personal growth, professional innovation, or societal impact.


Bringing Together Minds for a Creative Dialogue

The event provided an interactive platform for attendees to share experiences and perspectives, creating a dynamic exchange of ideas. Sabak’s ability to connect abstract concepts with practical applications ensured that participants left inspired and equipped to approach challenges with a creative mindset.
