Creativity in education introduces a new area of study as it can create, combined with Biomicry, qualified leaders to meet the ongoing challenges of post-industrial societies. In this respect, education with applied Biomicry principles is attributed new characteristics and forms of operation to support future entrepreneurs in their shaping and cultivating of skills toward problem-solving and innovation practices which are primary prerequisites to personal life and organizations. In this respect, curricula should undergo specific alterations and teachers should assume their new multi-dimensional role to support establishing creative thinking skills to their students. The use of Biomimicry in creativity can be reinforced in different educational environments such as Secondary, Tertiary or Vocational Education. In each area, special modifications are sought after according to each population’s needs and expectations. At the same time, teachers should perceive their role differently by placing emphasis on their students and their aspirations. This is achieved through the implementation of novice educational methods and practices conducive to building robust creative skills that bring innovation.
