How do we help young people retain and develop the creativity skills they naturally enjoy as children?

IDEO has launched a Creative Confidence Challenge to find solutions to address this very issue, inviting proposals for fun, inspiring, new ways to help teenagers and young adults nurture their own creative confidence.

Ideas are being sought by IDEO through a creative open sourcing process – they are seeking the best ideas from around the world, which will be reviewed, refined and evaluated. The whole process starts with the Inspiration phase, which is taking place just now, whereby people can share their own stories, providing inspiration for others.

Visit the Open IDEO website to contribute your own inspirations and ideas, and to watch as the process for selecting the best solutions evolves over the next two months.
