2. Activity - Applying the 4Ps

What's a next step that you can take to apply a creative learning approach in your work or context? How can you tinker with projects, peers, passion, and/or play going forward?

Document your reflections or plans by making a new topic here in Ongoing Projects. There are plenty of other projects from other LCLers to inspire you, some of which are included in the Project Gallery!

We hope that the 4 P's will continue to be a tool you apply to your work and congratulate you on making it through the LCL modules. Stay in touch, come back often, keep us updated on your work, and welcome to LCL!
