Creativity needs your help....



Collaboration is the new competition. Great effort from Alex Bogusky's (no surprise) Fearless Revolution.

This week, over 150 teams are competing in a Social Media Week related initiative to support creativity in education. The Fearless mission is to brainstorm ideas that preserve, champion, and foster creative education. Some well known folks are judging those ideas, and partners have signed on to pilot test the cream of the crop. It isn't perfect - but it's a start - no one doesn't care about education, but we're rarely called into action or given a way to participate.

The visual deck embedded in this blog is meant to inspire you, to get your brain limber, and to urge YOU (yes, you there) to put some of your cognitive surplus to work. It was created by Alex and The Bucket Brigade - an interdisciplinary network of creative problem solvers who care about confronting complex problems. If you're already a member, this is your first mission. If you aren't, consider yourself conscripted.

The FearLess community has rallied around the idea that if you cut away the fear, and replace it with a little love, there's an amazing amount of good you can accomplish. Please consider participating.

  1. I love this! Fearless is a great descriptor and creativity flourishes within it. Creativity and love are mutually dependent and, yes, so much can be accomplished with it.
    I'm in!

  2. agree! love and vulnerability open you up to things you may otherwise never would have seen, attempted to see, and furthermore, act upon. We all need to get off of the comfortable chaise lounge and be the change we want to see in the world. My motto for 2011: Get uncomfortable! (in a good way) haha
