Critical Thinking Initiative
Experience, reflection, reasoning, and communication!
Cortona Week has introduced and refined the three vessels:
- Break Out Groups
- Deepening Comments
- Student`s Corner
to promote the following skills for critical thinking.
Analyse and reflect
address different intellectual approaches which go beyond your own disciplines, and make sense of them in a larger context.
Build capacity for judgment and develop a stance
analyse assumptions, criteria and standards, develop a stance and reflect on these things in the critical discourse. Recognise social interests and interconnections as integral to the scientific and/or artistic context.
Communicate, argue and behave responsibly
Contribute critically, constructively and with commitment to the processing of complex problems within interdisciplinary, international and intercultural partners. Communicate thoughtfully your work and research to the public and behave responsibly.
Critical Thinking Initiative
The Critical Thinking Initiative has upheld the spirit of the Cortona Week and continues promoting critical reasoning across boundaries.
