Antoņina Vasiļjeva. Despite the changes in society and eductional system, the question about the creative personality is still important. The necessity of communication is stated not only among teenagers but also among adults as well. In order to promote creativity and communication possibilities, there were organized workshops for adults. The main problems running the workshops are the following: participants' uncertainty, disbelief on their own and fear not to fulfil the task. In addition, participiants feel uncomfortable among unknown people. As a result, the creative process is bothered because of limited communication possibilities. Participation in the project enable me to acquire new ideas and find out how to closer together unknown people, improve communication skills using different informal methods with game elements. The leader of the workshop must use their experience, intelligence, emotional resources and creativity thus enriching each other, breaking the sense of insecurity and negative stereotypes. When the ‘’ ice’’ was broken, and the participiants felt braver, there was offered the workshop ‘’ Textile printing’’. The partakers got necessary materials and following istructions printed cotton bags according to the theme ‘’Spring’’. The process was creative and positive and they did it with pleasure and keenness. Everyone was satisfied with the splendid results and full of positive emotions. The participants received the printed cotton bag as a present.

Inna Laizāne. I work as a teacher of the Latvian language and literature. I have been working in school for 28 years. I teach not only the pupils but also adults-foreigners, who need to master Latvian. Participation in the project enriched both my professional and life experience. The methods showed in the seminars of the project incite me to use them in the learning process and help adults to acquire certain skills. My audience is unemployed people who left school many years ago. While teaching there are different situations that is why I adapt methods to informal environment. I would like to take part in such projects in the future to acquire new methods and develop my English language skills as well.
