ABSTRACT
This chapter is characterised by an optimistic, can-do perspective. It tells the stories of two examples of creative thinking and design thinking in action with clear evidence of creative problem-solving, execution, building creative confidence and innovation of meaning. The Potsdam and Stanford schools of thought see such thinking as an important skill for future generations of students and practitioners. In particular, design thinking education intends to mediate this capability next to other crucial skills such as “wicked” problem-solving and empathic learning abilities.
