OUR LIVING MOSAIC

WORLD CREATIVITY & INNOVATION WEEK

Join us in a CELEBRATION of creativity and human connection as we create OUR LIVING MOSAIC virtually EACH DAY as an official event of the World Creativity & Innovation Week, April 15–21, 2022.

In a mosaic, every piece matters. In humanity, every one of us matters. In Creativity and Innovation Week, your creativity matters!

Each day will feature a different question and EACH VIRTUAL VISITOR will draw their answer! Quick and simple to participate. No downloads. No fuss.
These drawings will BE SEEN LIVE as we create Our Living Mosaic.

What we create together will then become a keepsake video of our world view. Every day, you can view the daily WALL OF FAME and see what answers people shared from around the world.

A CREATIVE COLLABORATION
Creative Activation Institute helps companies retain employees, save money and activate productivity through events and training where people experience and activate their own creativity. Founded by spitfire speaker and author, Sandy Parker, CAI creates and curates EVENTS and LIVING LABS (aka empowerment programs, workshops, breakout sessions and custom events for groups of all sizes.) Using the 7 Principles of Creative Activation, we provide liberating structures that help them understand how to reduce fear, increase safety, take risks, stop procrastination, connect with each other and engage. When they do that, there is excitement and vitality. This celebration is a collaboration of Creative Activation Institute and Piccles, a unique drawing tool that allows us all to create together.

WHAT IS WORLD CREATIVITY & INNOVATION WEEK?
Observed six days after Leonardo da Vinci’s birthday and one day before International Mother Earth Day, World Creativity & Innovation Day (#WCID) is encouraging creative multidisciplinary thinking to help us achieve the sustainable future we want.

Why Creativity Matters
Creativity is essential to life. In fact, being creative IS being alive. Life without it is dull and meaningless.

1. It gives us the “say” in how our day goes. Unless we create our day, our possibilities, our future, we are a victim of what is just given to us.
2. Without joy and wonder, it is a less than fulfilling life.
3. Creativity is not a skill but rather a way of being. When we invest ourselves in the moment and “put our hand to the plow” of whatever it is we’re doing, we are creating.
4. All problem solving is creativity. We know how. We just need to be in action. We often wait for something … a better time … a better set of circumstances. Creating happens right now. Leave the “perfecting” until later.
5. When we express ourselves, we can be seen and heard. That is medicine to the soul. Being listened to is a significant way we create with words.
6. We do not see things the want they are. We see things the way we are. If we do not express ourselves, our mind will drive us crazy!
7. Want a moment of peace? Start drawing. Want a moment of connection? Start drawing with someone. It’s that simple.
8. If we don’t look newly at something, we never see anything new. Pour on a bit of creativity and everything changes.
9. Beyond our own stresses and the problems in the world, we can enjoy what we can share with each other.
10. When we’re being creative, our cynicism melts away giving way to hope and possibility.
