Targeted at “non-artists” or people that consider themselves “non-creatives”. 133 participants joined the challenge with area codes from: Spain, Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina, UK, USA, Vietnam, Puerto Rico, Belarus, Thailand.

Hi I am Carolina, an MA Researcher in Applied Imagination. I am working on a research project about the decline in Creativity from childhood to adulthood.
Creativity:
- Has been proven to make you happier.
- Is the No1 skill required in current workplace (World Economic Forum )
- Studies show that our creativity is in decline.

[0:54 am, 18/06/2023] Carolina: Welcome to the 21 day Creativity Challenge. Thank you for joining!
2 days to START!
Start date June 20th
This is how it will work…every night (UK time) I will be sending you an activity for the next day.
This should take 5 minutes of your day.
I recommend you be STRICT with those five minutes. Put a timer if it helps.
These activities are aimed to help you develop your creative side.
At the end of the challenge I will ask you to fill out a short survey so I can use it for my research and you can share if taking part impacted your life in any way.
[0:32 am, 19/06/2023] Carolina: Tomorrow is the day!
1 day to Start!
Some tips:
Every night (my night), I will send you a 5 minute task for you to do.
Choose a time of day to do your Creative task. On your way to work, on your morning run, with your coffee.
Use a timer.
Reflect on the task. Where you comfortable doing it? Was it hard, was it easy?
Extra Points: If you choose to share your insights each day with me you will be automatically entered into a lottery for a 25 Euro Amazon gift card. If at least 30 people finish the 21 days and share their insights with me daily I will donate 250 Euros to https://www.chamos.org.uk charity.
Thoughts, reflections, questions, photos can be sent to Carolina: unpackyoucreativity@gmail.com
I will also post the daily challenge in IG @unpack_your_creativity
