Why We Formed
Global Creativity Network has been prompted, primarily, by the key to the future of mankind and the ultimate source of our continued economic and social vitality -- human creativity -- that must be deliberately nurtured, positively engaged, and continuously enhanced.
Other reasons for this global creativity movement are:
- Life-threatening social, economic, and ecological crises that are simply too many and too complex to be left to "experts," or to any small groups of people, however gifted or talented.
- The increasingly obvious fact that most of the crises that are threatening our collective survival and the future of Planet Earth are, fundamentally, a creativity crisis -- unfulfilled human potential and, resultantly, the massive epidemic of meaninglessness ("existential unhappiness") of which most psychological and socal problems are the symptoms, or mere manifestations.
- The massive global awakening of hundreds of millions of people around the world to their inherent (creative) worth as humans and, concomitantly, the increasingly strident clamor for potential-actualizing and humanly fulfilling patterns of existence.
- The deep level transformations that are occurring in practically every facet of our life, that must be creatively shaped into a planetary renaissance.
- The imperative of a civilization that is built on the creative contributions of the world's six and a-half billion people, in order to be viable and sustainable.
