Women and Creativity

Today, April 21, is the World Day for Creativity and Innovation, a recurrence recognised by the United Nations that is celebrated “six days after the birth of Leonardo Da Vinci and one day before International Earth Day to promote the idea that creativity and culture are indispensable elements to achieve the 17 sustainable development goals listed in the Agenda 2030 and a better way of living."  

 

Mirta Michilli, FMD Director General, will participate in the talk on  Creativity and Innovation as Tools for Female Empowerment and the Growth of the South, which will be streamed live on the Facebook page of the Sicilian Delegation of the Fondazione Marisa Bellisario at 6:30 pm.

 

The event will be an opportunity to reflect on female empowerment in the fields of technology and innovation as a lever for social and development and equal opportunities. The debate will begin with the following question:

 

If creativity and innovation are what drives the world, in terms of stimuli and new ideas and solutions to improve quality of life, thinking and acting in a more efficient, productive and simple manner, what is the nature of the relation, if it exists, between the human inclination and talent and the female world? Considering that in Sicily, female unemployment is less than 30% and nearly one out of every four women does not work, how can we use creativity and innovation as a lever to promote growth, look at women as the driver of possible development?

 

The event will be moderated by journalist Giulia Noera. Speakers include:

  • Marcella Cannariato, Special Councillor to Minister Bonetti and President, Fondazione Marisa Bellisario Sicilia
  • Elisa Furnari, Communications and Events Manager, Fondazione Ebbene
  • Mirta Michili, Director General, Fondazione Mondo Digitale
  • Valeria Ajovalasit, National President, Arcidonna
  • Calogero Oddo, President, CUG and Professor, Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna di Pisa
  • Darya Majidi, Entrepreneur and Founder, Community Donne 4.0
  • Valentina Falletta, Alfa/Donne in Alleanza Committee
