This chapter demonstrates that the concepts of creativity in education put forward to
date can only go so far in addressing the rapid, unpredictable changes inherent in the
21st century and the accompanying policy and practice challenges we face. The
chapter shifts away from conceptualisation such as ‘wise humanising creativity’ and
proposes a different articulation of creativity which may allow us to think about and
action creativity to meet these challenges. This (post-humanising) creativity
overcomes problems of humanistic conceptualisations as it allows for a full range of
‘players’ within the creative process, it incorporates a different, emergent take on
ethics and is willing to see the future too as emergent, rather than always ‘to-bedesigned’.
The chapter culminates by offering examples of (post-humanising)
creativity in action, aiming to bring alive how it can address our policy and practice
dilemmas.
