Pull up a chair, it takes about a minute. This is something you do for yourself, your
team, your family. We're creating a buzz about creativity and innovation and need your
help to make a difference.
World Creativity and Innovation Week April 15 - 21 is a time to encourage people to use
their creativity and to innovate to make the world a better place and to make your place
in the world better too. What simpler a way is there to start than by sharing stories of
yours and others' creativity? Creativity precedes innovation - new ideas lead to new
decision, lead to new inventions, lead to doing things in new and different ways.
We want you to help you get over the hump, the creative thinking slump by thinking
about a time when you felt really creative - when you got a new idea, used your
imagination and made a new decision. It doesn't matter where. And then, we're asking
you to share that story with the people you work with, live with, play with, network with in
conversation face-to-face and online.
You'll make some interesting discoveries, some new connections with people and you'll
be helping to spread the energy. Imagine a world where everyone knows that they have
abilities to ask new questions, see things in new ways, experiment with different
solutions, learn from the experience of others.
We're promoting face-to-face conversations and we've also set up a wiki for you to
share a creativity/innovation story with the world at www.worldcreativity.pbwiki.com.
Please be part of the solution - let's get the buzz going and keep it moving. Let's keep
the conversation going
Share Your Creativity and Innovation Story
Date: Tuesday, April 21, 2009
Time: From dawn to midnight
Admission: Your openness to share, listen, write and read
Where: Where ever you are, at home, at work, at school, on-line here and here |
