Hello, you are listening to the radio Ara. I am Marina Khomutova and this is a radio show ARA RUSSIA for peace.
Today my guest is Anastasia Vanden Berghe, a PhD researcher in cognitive psychology studying creativity and its role in decision-making. Not just in the arts, but in a much broader sense, creativity is about problem-solving, innovation, and finding ideas that are both new and useful.
Anastasia grew up in the United States after her family immigrated from Russia. Alongside her academic work, she is a trained artist exhibiting classical and abstract pieces, and a volunteer with Rotary, a global service organization active in Luxembourg and beyond.
Today we’ll reflect on what creativity really means in a world that often rewards speed over depth, and whether creative thinking can help us make wiser, more human choices.
