Below is the GTA Leonardo da Vinci Awards 2007 video for inspiration on how businesses and organizations are encouraging innovation and creativity:

This is the introduction to Mert Erkel’s facebook group “Creativity and Innovation Day Worldwide” April 21st:

Imagine a time every year when people all over the world celebrate their capacity to generate new ideas and make new decisions that make the world a better place and make their place in the world better too.

Creativity and Innovation Day started in 2002 and now has people in more than 40 countries doing things large and small to ground their commitment to do something a little differently at home, at work, at school, in the arts and their communities. It now is a week long – beginning on Leonardo da Vinci’s birthday – April 15th.

Would you like to celebrate too? It’s easy. During Creativity and Innovation Week people host creativity events, bring in creativity and innovation speakers, do something differently at home, and more for the purpose of raising awareness, comfort, competence and confidence in their natural ability to merge knowledge, imagination and evaluation to live a better, meaningful and more productive (and fun!) life.

Please check out Mert’s blog: Search for Blogging, and his recent post “How to Get Blogging Ideas When You Are Stuck“.

I hope you will do something, whether large or small, to make today different.
