No words can describe how illuminating an expert's insight can be. The sense of novelty, the difference in perspective, and the example of real-life make the difference in stimulating innovation as a characteristic of creative work. Techniques are necessary in this field, but it's the ideas that make a difference. 

Monograph is a series of meetings with key figures from the creative industry, moments for reducing the distance between school and work, creating your own network, and experiencing school as a place for dialogue. All fundamental steps to expressing yourself creatively and pursuing happiness.
