**2.1 A new educational approach for design and creativity**

A novel transformation in design and creativity is necessary, one that encompasses a refocus of the design and creative practice, that merges the individual, industrial, and governmental behaviours that allow a healthier planet, safe from disastrous human activities that could potentially eliminate the risk of a global emergency. So, a suitable approach in design and creativity education must embrace a deep awareness for a competency-based model that paints a picture for the student rather than starting from the 'blank' [15]. If not diverse and independent, design and creativity education will form students with tendencies for those biased and standard practices and strategies, hampering their career development. Whilst seeking confirmation and comfort design students will undermine their full and unique potential [15–20].
