Abstract

This paper explores the integration of resilience training into educational settings, through the lens of behavioral insights. Namely, while resilience is often associated with traits like survival and long-term development, this study highlights its alignment with creativity - a dynamic and adaptable quality that embodies both a higher level of program attractiveness and a shift from self-reported to experimental measures. To build this connection, the paper provides a recent overview (2021-2024) of resilience interventions and creativity experiments. It examines their use, impact, and limitations, as well as methodologies for task design and assessment. Based on this analysis, we propose a foundational framework for a resilience-creativity intervention program tailored for students. The program is designed to enhance resilience while fostering creativity, using engaging and interactive activities to promote bonding and support, particularly for first-year students. Finally, we discuss implementation strategies, pilot testing, and iterative improvements, emphasizing the potential of this dual-focus intervention to address critical challenges in higher education.
