Here, you see my participation in a training called "Operacy Playshop".
Sorry for the bad quality picture, because it's not my camera, and I also don't have my own camera. :-( If you buy me one, it would be welcomed ! :-)
What's Operacy ? Why Operacy ?
Operacy = What can I do with it ? (Key Personal Success and Leadership)
The term 'operacy' has been coined by Edward de Bono, its meaning is presented here in context:
The idiom of education is that it is enough to build up the information base and that action is then easy. It is not. The skills of action are every bit as important as the skills of knowledge. That this is not recognised in education is a tragedy. For convenience I have coined the term 'operacy', which is derived from 'operate' and 'operational' and thus indicates 'the skill needed for doing'. I believe that operacy should rank alongside literacy and numeracy as a major aim of education.
We need to change our conceptions about thinking and action. To effect this change we need a concept such as operacy which gives status to the thinking involved in doing. We need to appreciate effectiveness and not just intellectual games.

In conclusion, there are many interesting modules which can not be learned in depth for just a very little hours during the playshop. However, continue learning and doing in the daily life are the most important experiences.
