Summary:Though most researchers agree that creativity can be thought, there are very few educational initiatives specifically aimed to improve creativity of the students. This paper is a brief review of the vast literature dedicated to the study of creativity from a practical perspective, aiming to identify the factors that influence creativity in a positive or negative way, and to derive action directions for fostering creativity in the educational context. An important conclusion of this study is that, though intensely criticized for blocking the innate creativity of the children, a reformed school, with specially trained teachers, seems to remain the most important social instrument for promoting creativity of the students on a large scale.
