World Creativity and Innovation Celebrations

The World Creativity and Innovation Week (WCIW) is celebrated annually (15-21 April). The mission of WCIW is to encourage people to use new ideas, make new decisions, and take new steps towards making the world better through creativity. The purpose of this chapter was to explain what World Creativity and Innovation Week (WCIW) and World Creativity and Innovation Day (WCID) entails. Three research objectives were identified to meet the purpose of the chapter: (1) to explain why creativity, innovation, and education are important; (2) to explore how WCIW/D was celebrated across the six continents focusing on the three countries per continent that celebrated WCIW/D the most; and (3) to make recommendations to celebrate the WCIW/D in the future. The chapter showed how different countries celebrated education, creativity, and innovation and provided ideas on enhancing learning and fun in the classroom.
