IFIA invites all of the members to celebrate the World Creativity & Innovation Week on April 21 to appreciate the role that intellectual property rights play in stimulating innovation and creativity

What is creativity?

You may think you have a pretty darn good understanding of what creativity is- you see it, you hear about it, and maybe you even practice it. But what exactly makes something creative? And how can one get better at creativity?

Creativity is a mindset, a skill set, and a toolset. It’s a framework for approaching problems. It involves brainstorming a lot of ideas, seeking novelty, deferring judgment, and building off the ideas of others.

When it comes down to it, creativity is about going beyond just your first right answer and discovering the second, third, or 124th.

Why is it important?

Practicing creativity will bring creative confidence, and with creative confidence will come your ability to look at problems as opportunities. You will find new solutions to personal opportunities and change your life. You will find creative solutions to community opportunities and change your world. You will discover new connections to improve the world for all of us.

World Creativity and Innovation Day April 21 (WCID) was founded by Marci Segal on May 25, 2001, in Toronto, Canada.

The purpose of World Creativity and Innovation Day was, and still is, to remind and encourage people to use their creativity to make the world a better place and to make their place in the world better too.

April 21, the day before Earth Day, April 22, was chosen as World Creativity and Innovation Day to emphasize the importance of using new thinking to create a decent life for all on a sustainable planet.

April 21 is a placeholder in time to give people a reason and opportunity to use imagination productively, to release new thinking, and to celebrate that.
