What is the purpose of celebrating the World Creativity and Innovation Day?

            The progress of human civilization depends on Man’s ability to create and innovate. Man lives not just by bread alone; if not for his imagination and creativity, he would have been merely another animal. On April 21, the world celebrates Man’s ability to be creative, as the World Creativity and Innovation Day.

            Ancient Man scribbled and doodled images of animals and the other men around him, on the walls of his cave. Some of these men were good at representing the world around. Culture and civilization began with man the artist. In the 21st century, creativity and innovation at both the individual and group levels have been recognized as the true wealth of nations. Now we realize that creativity is not confined to artistic expressions alone.

            The first World Creativity and Innovation Day was celebrated in 2018. The day has another speciality: it is observed six days after Leonardo da Vinci’s birthday and one day before International Mother Earth Day!
