Abstract

The intention of this work is to verify the theoretical assumption which states the relationship between developing creative potential and the the environmental conditions which the context provides. A psycho-educational program based on childrens’ stories was designed with the aim of stimulating the creative capability among children in primary school. To measure creativity, the Torrance Test of Creativity Thinking graphic and verbal battery was used. After applying the program, the results showed a huge rise of the levels of verbal creativity in the experimental group with respect to the control groups.
