This exhibition explores the power of Creative Confidence – the belief that everyone can be creative – through stories and innovations that begin at home and ripple out into communities. From frugal innovations with limited resources, to finding creative ways to carve out “class time” at work for emotional well-being, to healthcare solutions that uplift entire society, the exhibition highlights how small acts of creativity can lead to meaningful change. Each story reminds visitors that it’s often the mindset and approaches through small things – done with intention and imagination – that truly count.
