Celebration of the World Creativity and Innovation Day

On Thursday 21st April is the World Creativity and Innovation Day, which at Mindshake we celebrate since 2015.

This year will be an open door event in the Mindshake House in Porto, starting at 16h00. For who can’t join in place, we will open also a zoom meeting at 18h30 WEST time, where everybody can join for the oficial launch of our new collaborative book “Creativity and Innovation Affairs”, which was coordinated by Katja Tschimmel and designed by the designer double T*I*N*A.

The book “Creativity and Innovation Affairs – Are they or are they not…?” is dedicated to clarify ambiguous concepts from the world of creativity and innovation. One of the initial triggers for the development of the book was the perceived ambiguity of the binomials Design vs. Design Thinking and Innovation vs. Invention. Frequently, designers and innovation consultants are questioned by their clients about the relationships between these kind of concepts. Has the second emerged through the first, or vice-verse? Is one part of the other? Where are the similarities and which are the differences? This conceptual incomprehension makes itself noticeable between many ambiguous concepts in the world of innovation and creativity. What is the difference between Radical and Disruptive Innovation? Or is Social Innovation the same as Social Intervention? And regarding Creativity, are Creativity and Creative Thinking the same? In this book the reader will find answers to these kinds of questions and doubts.
28 authors from 10 different countries and cultural backgrounds are questioning current definitions and perceptions, by comparing different sources and ideas, or simply by giving their personal opinions. Some of the authors have an academic background, others a practical one, being either entrepreneurs, working with innovation in companies, or being innovation/design consultants.

Welcome to the Creativity and Innovation Affairs 2022!
