Introduction
The purpose of the O-City project is to discover and promote the natural and cultural heritage of our cities, and, at the same time, to stimulate the orange economy by injecting technical and professional knowledge into the natural and cultural promotion of the cities involved. On the one hand, the promotion of the natural and cultural heritage of the cities will be achieved by creating creative multimedia items (photo, video, comic, animation, podcast, …) of each city and upload them on the O-City World platform. On the other hand, with the aim to develop the creative economy of the cities, different courses have been developed for teachers about the creative multimedia items that will be located into the O-City platform. These courses include resources about how to put into practice the contents with their students. In this way, teachers and students will create new creative multimedia items of their cities that, after being validated, will be uploaded to the O- City World platform.
Additionally, the development of cultural, soft and business skills is also necessary for new practitioners in the orange economy. For this reason, the O-City training plan consists of the following 4 skill modules:
- Module I. Heritage & Intellectual Property (IP): Basic content related to natural and cultural heritage (definition, classification, importance, etc.) and the protection of intellectual property (definition, categories, methods, etc.)
- Module II. Technical: Basic content needed to develop multimedia elements (photography, video, animation, etc.) on heritage.
- Module III. Business: Basic contents related to business and entrepreneurship skills in the orange economy (creation of business models, digital marketing, etc.)
- Module IV. Soft skills: Contents to stimulate creativity, critical thinking and in general interpersonal skills as a tool to improve professional integration.
The Developing Creativity Course is part of Module IV. The aim of the course is for the teacher to acquire theoretical foundations and competencies on how to develop creativity as well as to provide him / her with materials and guidelines for transferring this knowledge to his / her students in the classroom. After the lessons suggested in this course, students will apply creativity to some natural or cultural heritage of their cities.
The following video introduces the course and provides a general overview of its structure, explaining why creativity is important for natural and cultural heritage.

In the O-City training programme, two types of videos and/or training pills have been developed:
- Videos showing a presentation with background music but without voice-over. In this case the translated information is contained in the course document T4.3, which compiles all the course information.
