2009 European Year of Creativity and Innovation
“Tapping into our individual creativity brings great personal satisfaction and growth. Tapping into our communal creativity can generate huge returns of innovation and productivity. Parliament and cultural stakeholders have pointed this out to us on various occasions. And you've set our creative juices flowing. A European Year of Creativity and Innovation in 2009 would turn the spotlight on creativity: focus on the cultural dimension of education, and highlight how education can promote creativity in the broadest sense.”
This announcement by Mr. Figel during his speech to the EP CULT
Committees, May 8th 2007, Brussels, Belgium will most certainly boost the European Association for Creativity and Innovation in its endeavors to finance projects involving creative education and creativity in education as well as projects around social and cultural innovation. Also, it promises a magnificent context and stage for the conference that EACI will put on in Brussels in November 2009 called ECCI XI!
