World Creativity and Innovation Day
Posted on April 06 2024
Take time to celebrate your creativity this month in whatever way you wish! Practice creativity, use your imagination, think in new ways!
World Creativity and Innovation Day is April 21 and World Creativity and Innovation Week is April 15 - 21.
Marci Segal founded this day because she imagined that…”it would be great if people knew how to use their natural ability to generate new ideas, make new decisions, take new actions and achieve new outcomes…to create solutions to make the world a better place and to make their place in the world better too”!
April 21, the day before Earth Day, was chosen to provide an opportunity for all of us to take a pause and place our emphasis on using creativity in problem-solving, developing ideas, and creating solutions for a more sustainable planet for all.
The World Creativity and Innovation Organization created the week-long observance “to inspire and enable people all over the world to practice and celebrate creativity and share it with others”.
Choose any sustainable issue you care about. What sustainable problem exists that really bothers you?
Use your creativity in any way you choose!
Participate in or be inspired by a World Creativity and Innovation event.
Use your creativity to think of many more ideas than you need, implement one of those ideas to accomplish something useful.
There are many ways to spark your creativity…
- Let nature inspire you such as taking a walk in a park or sitting on a bench in a flower garden.
- Change up your routine by finding 30 minutes in your day for a cup of tea or coffee, and sit and daydream.
- Listen to music that makes you happy.
- Find a creative space or place, inside or outside, such as by the water, in an art gallery, near a meadow or a mountain, anywhere that can inspire your thinking.
- Clear your clutter by organizing your workspace and adding artful accents like photos, drawings, etc. to your environment.
- Take time to draw or doodle.
Get going, get creative!
