Message to worldwide participants, from Marci Segal, co-founder of World
Creativity and Innovation Week April 15 - 21.
World Creativity and Innovation Week April 15 - 21 was launched to encourage people
to use their creativity to make the world a better place and to make their place in the
world better too. Included in that is spreading the word, the passion, the belief that each
one has creativity capacity - to generate new ideas, use imagination and make new
decisions that make a difference for a vibrant satisfying future.
During World Creativity and Innovation Week April 15 - 21 we inspire people all over the
world to think new thoughts, initiate new actions, and joyfully celebrate their unique
contributions for improving the status quo while at the same time, doing no harm.
People in schools, factories, families, businesses, governments , associations, on the
streets and in the boardroom all participate during World Creativity and Innovation Week
