The Theme of World Creative and Innovation Day, April 21, 2022

The theme of World Creativity and Innovation’s Day, April 21, is ‘Collaboration‘. 

What is the true meaning of collaboration?

“Collaboration is a joint effort between two or more people, free from hidden agendas, to produce an output in response to a common goal or shared priority. Often this output is greater than what any of the individuals could have produced working alone”. “There may be no universal understanding of creativity. The concept is open to interpretation from artistic expression to problem-solving in the context of economic, social, and sustainable development. Therefore, the United Nations designated 21 April as World Creativity and Innovation Day to raise awareness of the role of creativity and innovation in all aspects of human development.” United Nations

These creative and innovative methods are helpful and essential in developing young learners into creative, independent, and knowledgeable thinkers who are not shy to express themselves.
It’s most required to develop an educational system that supports and cultivates creativity and innovation among students. Students need to be creative, innovative, and adaptable to learn the concept of ‘Collaboration‘, the theme of WCID 2022 to prepare themselves for a Happy Life beyond the classroom.
