What We Stand For:

Global Creativity Network stands for three related, creativity-focused actions:

  1. Global Creativity "Marshall Plan"
  2. Global Creativity Consciousness
  3. The Right to 'Be' Creative

Global Creativity "Marshall Plan"

The dreadful "evolution-or-extinction," "change-our-ways-or-perish" predicament that humanity is facing calls for a vigorous all-out action involving all of us -- parents, teachers, business and political leaders, administrators, medical and other helping professionals. The rootedness of the global predicament in the inability of the vast majority of people to realize their creative potential defines the purpose as well as the direction of the imperative action: To recover our lost, repressed, or seriously atrophied essence as humans.

Global Creativity Consciousness

The centrality of creativity in human life and, therefore, its absolute necessity for success in practically every facet of human affairs, call for systematic and sustained effort for its nurturance and engagement. Central to this effort are:

  • A fundamentally new understanding of human nature as, each, embodying the wisdom and creativity that is critical for personal success, for the success of their respective institutions and organizations and, ultimately, for the flourishing of our species and Planet Earth.
  • Creative education, training, coaching, and mentoring programs, awakening people to the tremendous but untapped potentialities and possibilities within them.
  • A recognition of human fulfillment and actualization of human potential at least as important as material well-being and, therefore, a central responsibility of every institution of society.
  • Opportunities, encouragement, challenge, and support for people to develop and to contribute their special abilities to beneficial social, economic, and ecological ends.
  • Development, testing, application, and continuous refinement of appropriate tools for monitoring the creativity-compliance of everyday decisions, actions, policies, and behaviors.

The Right to 'Be' Creative

The inherence of creativity in human nature; its primacy among the forces that drive our behavior and shape our lives; and the absolute necessity of its actualization for meaningful existence and for responsible social and ecological behavior call for explicit recognition of "The Right to 'Be' Creative" as a fundamental human right and, ultimately, its affirmation in all existing and new Charters of Humanity.
