Creativity is everywhere, and it's the fuel for innovation

Creativity used to be thought of only in relation to the arts.  That's changed.  We now appreciate that creativity means this - using new ideas, imagination and making new decisions. This new understanding helps people know they can their creativity by doing those three things.  What's more is that we also know that everyone has their own approach, style, reason and choice for where and how they use it. There's a great diversity of approach when it comes to creativity.  

World Creativity and Innovation Week is a great time to get familiar with your talent for invention and innovation to make a world of difference. Helping you access your creative thinking abilities is one of our goals. We've assembled a starter set of simple no and low-cost suggestions activities you can use at home , at work or at school .

Show all your friends, family and co-workers that, rather than letting your creativity lay dormant, that you are claiming it this week.
