For the third year in a row, the KROK Business School is organizing the World Creativity and Innovation Week in Ukraine, supporting the UN Global Initiative WCIW / WCID, which is currently joined by 109 countries. The idea of the initiative is to promote creative thinking and innovation technologies, giving people from all over the world access to unleash their own creative potential with the help of the best creativity experts - Creativity Ambassadors and Champions in different countries.
Every year, the World Creativity and Innovation Week begins on April 15, Leonardo da Vinci's birthday. The main theme of this year's event is COLLABORATION. The World Creativity and Innovation Week in Ukraine 2022 initiative is aimed at supporting Ukrainians, intensifying social progress to clarify and create ideas for Ukraine's renovation and humanitarian problems, and finding innovative ways to develop the country after russia's unprecedented military invasion of Ukraine.
The slogan "Creativity is a superpower!" appeared at a meeting of the European Board of World Creativity and Innovation Week. So let's cultivate and use this power - to rebuild - our own and the country's, to find new ways to solve problems.
