Abstract
Lehtimäki and Silvast offer an encouraging account on using arts-based-intervention (ABI) with multiple arts-based-methods (ABM) as part of mainstream curriculum in higher education. The detailed case study from a university course on innovation management in Finland elaborates how ABI can be used to foster experiential student-centred learning and create conditions for reflexivity among students. With excerpts from written and videotaped learning diaries, Lehtimäki and Silvast provide an in-depth discussion on how students engage in deep learning about leadership, gain courage to be creative and learn to be reflective and empathetic leaders. The discussion on the use of ABI is inspirational on how cultivating leadership for change predisposes students as future professionals to not only appreciate innovation management but to actively innovate themselves.
