About Creative Communities

Creative Communities International is an incubator for social innovations based in Brisbane Australia. Through our family of web sites we aim to help individuals, communities and decision-makers unlock their latent creative genius.

Creative Communities International was set up in 2001 by David Engwicht and Ingrid Burkett. Here is an outline of our passion and our plan.
 
Our Passion is to:

Build the capacity of communities to be more creative in the way they tackle a broad range of issues...without abdicating all the responsibility to government or other sectors of the community.

Assist politicians, decision-makers, city staff and residents to 'think outside the box' when looking for ways to address community issues.

Help political leaders to overcome the significant limitations of adversarial forms of politics and public dialogue.

Stimulate individuals, communities, decision-makers, and entire cities to reach their fullest creative potential.
