April 21 is Creativity and Innovation
April 21 is Creativity and Innovation Day. The date was created by the United Nations (UN) in 2017 with the aim of encouraging creativity and innovation as essential tools for sustainable development, social progress and the solution of global problems. The choice of the day coincides with the birth of Leonardo da Vinci, a symbol of creative and multidisciplinary thinking.
The date highlights the importance of thinking “outside the box” to transform realities, promote change and generate a positive impact in various areas, such as education, science, technology, art, business and the environment. Creativity and innovation go hand in hand in the search for more humane, efficient and sustainable solutions to the challenges of the 21st century.
Around the world, the day is celebrated with events, workshops, debates and initiatives that stimulate creative and collaborative thinking. In Brazil, the World Creativity Festival is one of the greatest examples, bringing together people and ideas to promote social and cultural transformation.
