Why we do it

In 2007, we embraced the challenge of contributing to a better world through creativity education.

Our vision is a world where creative life and work are the cornerstones of fulfillment, achievement, and success, and where all individuals are able to harness their creativity for personal empowerment and the advancement of society.
