Planetary Creativity Ethic

Planetary Creativity Ethic, the flagship program of the Global Creativity Network, is an effort to put creativity at the center of the global development agenda -- making human fulfillment and actualization of human potential a core value and the overriding consideration in all social, economic, and political decisions and actions. The two-part program consists of advocacy and practical actions.

The advocacy part of the Planetary Creativity Ethic is a series of creativity-consciousness initiatives, including publications, newsletters, seminars, workshops, conferences, forums, and other public information programs designed to underscore: a) the natural, universal, compelling, and ceaseless human urge to make significant and meaningful contribution to life; and b) society's obligation to arrange things so that every person has the opportunity to do so. Advocacy's central objective is to convince mankind that:

Human beings -- without exception -- are inherently creative and naturally, even compellingly, driven to realize their unique and individualized potential, i.e., to develop and to contribute one's particular set of abilities in significant, meaningful, and beneficial actions.
Ability to develop and to contribute one's natural abilities is not only the healthiest possible state of existence but, also, the best guarantee of responsible personal, social, and ecological behavior.
Inability to realize one's potential is the primary and underlying cause of the spreading epidemic of meaninglessness and the resultant psychological and social problems that are ruining the lives and destinies of countless millions of people around the world, traumatizing families and communities, and even threatening our collective survival and the future of Planet Earth.

The action component of the Planetary Creativity Ethic is a rallying call, inextricably joining all people in three crucial tasks:

Foster creativity-friendly, potential-actualizing families, classrooms, workplaces, institutions, organizations, communities, and national societies.
Align everyday parental, educational, economic, business, social, political, and care-giving decisions and actions with the creative essence of the affected persons.
Develop, test, and continuously refine the tools to monitor the creativity-compliance of our everyday decisions, actions, policies, and behaviors.
