Designing the drivers to boost Digital Creativity and enable Digital Maturity

With the world rapidly changing and the accelerated growth of emerging digital technologies, creativity has become more fundamental than ever before (Corazza, 2017). Digital Creativity is the ability to creatively and strategically apply digital technologies to innovate, thereby harnessing human-centered technological innovation to solve complex problems (Bruno and Canina, 2019). In this transitional era, design enables and empowers people’s creative design skills and mindsets. As educators, how can we concretely support learners in training and developing these creative abilities to face contemporary challenges and harness digital transformation opportunities? Within the framework of the DC4DM European project, the paper will describe the steps that led to the collection, selection and clustering of the essential Digital Creative Abilities considered as actual “drivers” that would enable creators to face Digital Transformation.
