In today's world, creativity has become a highly valued skill. April 21st has been officially designated as the World Creativity and Innovation Day by the United Nations, underscoring the importance of these qualities in our society.
'On , the world is invited to embrace the idea that innovation is essential for harnessing the economic potential of nations. Innovation, creativity and mass entrepreneurship can provide new momentum towards achieving the Sustainable Sustainble Goals (SDGs).
