This innovative program integrates residents of the Collingwood and Fitzroy housing estates and other marginalised people with employees from city and local businesses. Members range in age from 13 to 85 years old and represent 15 nations. The aim of this choir is not only to create a more cohesive society, but also to connect migrants with potential employment opportunities and networks that would usually be out of their reach.

  15. Key points LEVERAGE THE POWER OF “NO” We are all far more creative than we believe. Remove self-limiting beliefs of yourself..and others. Never give up! ASK WHY? And also ask why not? Appreciate the power of “Yes” and “I can…”. Look for possibility. What if…? CREATE FOR VALUE Unlocking creativity leads to ideas that create value in individuals, teams and organisations. Focus on the benefits/value of your idea, not its newness DIVERSITYleads to innovation. Listen to all the voices around you and share your ideas across barriers of siloes, age, gender and cultural diversity. INNOVATION CULTURE Find ways to develop a culture of creativity and innovation across your teams and organisation. Be known as problem solvers.

  16. Key points ENQUIRING MINDS All it takes is nurturing enquiring minds - who knows what may be possible! What could exist that does not exist now? GROUP PROCESS Understand that organisational innovation is not an individual thing. It is a group thing and requires the participation of numerous different people, all of whom contribute to the overall innovation process ALIGN WITH LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE - You need to be around people who make you feel like YOU! COURAGE Be prepared to take a risk. Step outside your comfort zone. Don’t follow tradition or the group. Be a creative leader. And support others who are. Listening + Creativity + Courage + Passion = Your power to be a change maker, bring hope and leave a legacy

  20. creativity in education so why don't we get the best out of people? “I would teach children music, physics and philosophy; but most importantly music, for in patterns of music and the arts are the keys to learning.” Plato "We are educating people out of their creativity” Sir Ken Robinson “All children are born artists. The problem is to remain artists until we grow up.” Pablo Picasso

  21. the song room:engaging young people through creativity The Song Room's vision is that all Australian children have the opportunity to participate in music and the arts to enhance their education, personal development and community involvement. 3 out of 4 Australian government primary schools do not have access to music programs. The Song Room has reached over 250,000 students nationally.
