Common ground in decision-making often conjures thoughts of consensus, shared values, and structured dialogue. However, the arts bring a unique dimension to this foundation: they offer a secure and confident space to push boundaries, experiment with ideas, and experience freedom in choice-making. In art, whether in theater, painting, or music, individuals can explore decisions in imaginative, unconventional ways. Artistic expression allows for decision-making without the strict confines of outcome-based goals. This 'freedom to play ' nurtures creativity and builds resilience as individuals learn to navigate uncertainties and explore new perspectives without immediate real-life consequences. See you at Berlin Science Week in five days - get ready; your common sense in decision-making might just get a refresh. https://lnkd.in/emdXq9At
