How to teach creativity and generate ideas for writing in class

Creativity is in some sense making decisions and to be able to create, you must make decisions as simple as possible. Magnus Ljunggren has successfully designed a “story generator” that can help any child generate 1000 story embryos in just 10 minutes time. In this session Magnus will show you how the story generator works so that you can start applying it yourself as soon as you’re leaving the session, and he will share his experiences on creativity and story writing from using “the generator” during the last 10 years. Magnus Ljunggren has published 24 books and has more than 10 years of experience as a teacher.

What it's like to grow up with dyslexia and how to overcome it

Limited Capacity seats available

Magnus Ljunggren a dyslectic and an author, will tell his own story of what it was like to grow up with dyslexia and how he overcame it. Being dyslectic is being at war with the alphabet. At first Magnus was losing this war. He didn’t want to write at all. It made him feel stupid and humiliated. He got scolded and laughed at a lot. Then Magnus discovered the joy of telling stories, and the words became nothing more than a tool to use - and dyslexia lost its grip over him. Today Magnus has written 24 books.
