World Creativity & Innovation Week (WCIW), a weeklong celebration from April 15-21, ignites an international community dedicated to encouraging and empowering everyday creativity in companies, homes, schools as well as communities. The celebration aims to inspire and enable individuals worldwide to live more creative lives.
Since 2001, World Creativity & Innovation Week/Day worked to inspire every man, woman, and child to use creativity to make their world and the world around them better.
Laeeq Ali, India Ambassador for WCIW/D 2023 said, “INSPIRE will be at the forefront of everything we do this year. We want each one to inspire the other to do bigger and better things. If we cant change the world at once, let each one of us be the change agents who are taking this on to ourselves, inspiring the other and driving the change. The need of the hour for humanity today, is to create more critical thinkers who can be inspiration points.
