What is it?

One day. 24 hours. A world of creative voices!

Join Adobe Creative Educators across the globe for a marathon of creating! On World Creativity & Innovation Day, we’re turning our planet into a digital classroom. For 24 consecutive hours, students and educators will connect across borders to build a living, breathing tapestry of global inspiration! This is our way to contribute to this global initiative led by the United Nations. Learn more:

The Mission:

One Quilt. Countless Stories. A Global Community!

Every participant will create their own quilt patch using our Community Quilt Guided Activity in Adobe Express. We’re all answering one powerful question:

"What story does your creativity tell the world?"

As the sun moves across time zones, our shared gallery will grow from a few sparks into a massive, global masterpiece!

Share Your Excitement!

Mark your calendar for April 21st and spread the word! Share that your joining us with your community, because the best creative moments happen when we show up together.
