Creativity

One of the objectives of the Botin Foundation is to develop the creativity of the population through the arts and the emotions they produce.

In 2012, the Botin Foundation published the international report “Good morning creativity!” that showed the importance of creativity in our society, specifically in the educational field.

In 2014, the Foundation took another step forward with the international report “Arts and Emotions that enhance creativity” that analyses how the arts, and specifically six of them (plastic arts, cinema, dance, literature, music and theatre), move us and they enhance our imagination and the capacity we have to create.

The main objective of this report is to raise awareness about the importance of the arts in training people due to the benefits they produce in personal and social development, as well as in our creative skills.

The results of this research will soon be used to launch innovative programmes at the Botin Centre of Santander that develop the creativity of the population through the arts and the emotions they produce

Resumen del día de la presentación

Good morning creativity! 2012

This report brings us closer to the benefits that creativity brings us in a personal capacity and its possibilities to generate wealth and economic and social development. For this we must take care of children’s creativity, as well as awaken it in those cases in which it is somewhat asleep.

In any case, our goal is to say every day: Good morning creativity!
