5 ways to train your creativity this Spring and Summer
To celebrate the United Nations World Creativity Day on April 21, we made a list of five tips to boost your creativity this Spring/Summer
In today's world, creativity has become a highly valued skill. April 21st has been officially designated as the World Creativity and Innovation Day by the United Nations, underscoring the importance of these qualities in our society.
'On World Creativity and Innovation Day, the world is invited to embrace the idea that innovation is essential for harnessing the economic potential of nations. Innovation, creativity and mass entrepreneurship can provide new momentum towards achieving the Sustainable Sustainble Goals (SDGs).
Creativity can harness economic growth and job creation, while expanding opportunities for everyone, including women and youth. It can provide solutions to some of the most pressing problems such as poverty eradication and the elimination of hunger. Human creativity and innovation, at both the individual and group levels, have become the true wealth of nations in the twenty-first century.'
