Support HEART
We would like to thank all of our staff, volunteers, and local community for supporting us to return to business as usual.
We have been so overwhelmed by the generosity of HEART supporters over this time and hope you can still continue to offer that support.
The Centre is still recovering and, unlike many organisations, HEART has to be entirely self-sufficient; we don’t receive grants or any other kind of subsidy, so have to make every penny and pound ourselves.
As ever, whether it’s £1 or £100, it all makes a difference.
We have registered over 360,000 learners throughout our history and worked with over 400 organisations. OCN NI are at the forefront of education within Northern Ireland. We want to be your Awarding Organisation of choice.
This one-day course first covers some basic theory and background, clarifying what the world of 'creative thinking' and 'innovation' looks like. It then looks at principles, practices and tools around creative thinking in particular.
