To impel the society of innovative and creative knowledge as the basis for a true competitiveness, is one of the desires of education and learning, these concepts play a very prominent role in the task to promote creativity, even from the beginning of the process of instruction. Creativity and innovation are very linked to terms such as efficiency, quality and equity, being key factors for economic and social development of countries. This initiative is to support creativity in children and young people through learning as means for innovation, social and occupational skills in human development, this has become a main engine of economic expansion, many countries in the world have emphasized the importance of innovation for the development of inclusive societies, economic prosperity and social cohesion, being an extremely important innovation for both goals, and this should start from the first years of people life.
• The way of the project birth:
It’s desirable to undertake or support designed and feasible projects that contribute to solve the problems of lack of creativity and innovation. One of the objectives is to enhance the skills of the beneficiaries as the imagination, criteria, innovation and creation among others, in a process of formation and transformation of strategic, deeply existential.

FINAL REPORT Bolivia 2014
• Creativity and innovation:
These two terms are different but closely related and can be defined as the ability to generate new practical ideas for solving problems. Creativity is not limited to a few people, each person has a more or less large creative potential, the problem is that creativity has not been trained and driven so far. Following that line, innovation requires a strategy that uses creative thinking as an evolutionary variable and successfully introduced innovation as impetus for social change. Innovation therefore includes the generation of the idea, (decision) acceptance and implementation. The generation of the idea represents the creative focus of the innovation process that includes all the processes of change.
• Impacts that we want to identify in children and young people in the future: We want to systematize 14 creative indicators in the process of the project, the most important are:
- Originality: It is the child ability, in order to generate ideas whose characteristic are unique, interesting and in the future a community of social contribution. - Initiative: Those have the skill to devise and carry out activities, to direct actions, with a provision to star in, promote and develop ideas in a first term. - Fluency: In order to produce ideas in quantity and quality in a manner that is permanent and spontaneous, with uninterrupted generation processes of discoveries , so they can understand the productivity of technical thought in the pursuit of contradictions and problems. - Divergence: In order to have a large capacity to analyze the opposite, to visualize the different, to counteract the trial, to find different ways. - Flexibility: They arrange the facts within diverse and broad categories, with a capacity of modification, variation in behavior, attitudes, objects, objectives and methods. - Sensibility: They can perceive and express the world in its multiple dimensions, capable of identifying with

a situation or problem. - Elaboration: Be able to formalize the ideas, to plan, develop and run their future personal projects, an attitude to change formulations into promising solutions and decisive actions, the requirement to bring the creative impulse to its realization. In another sense the elaboration is summarized in the consolidation of an idea, the search of perfection and precision of the action. - Self-esteem: Develop confidence in themselves, based on the actual knowledge of its possibilities and potentials, strengths and weaknesses, in the power of their convictions and their energy, vigor and strength. - Motivation: From a cognitive and affective perspective based on problem solving. - Independence: Necessary aspects of a personality for self-education, they will be able to understand, develop and perform their duties according to their own initiative and without help from anyone. - Innovation: Possess the ability to the optimal use of resources, to redefine functions and uses, with quality to convert something into something else, achieving new roles - Invention: Develop effective resolution capacity, in accordance with the provision of resources. - Rationalization: To reach the correct solution of a new problem and useful for each one or the group that manages it and its application provides technical, economic or social benefit.
• Goals:
Support to encourage creativity and imagination to 23000 children and youth with Lego sets would increase motivation and confidence of children and young people to achieve their potential, expanding their knowledge in the future in different areas such as science, history, culture and the arts. For this reason, creativity should be dealt as a complement to all areas of the educational development through practice and a transverse perspective. We must also
consider a synergy between knowledge, skills and creativity, which would lead to greater contribution to innovation. Creative skills can be improved in the same way as the rest of the skills (through practice) be applied in the future to the learning of all the school subjects and its application will probably produce a deep learning and development of it. We want to be partners for innovation and development, creativity and innovation. Partnerships with social environments are vital for an education in which the training will be the reflection of labor future needs, of learning in order to make and learning in order to use. In this way, the reflection can be promote to children and young people around of new ideas and opportunities to find joint solutions to the problems of the real world, and should respond to the needs, especially the ability to innovate to create. The main tasks for cooperation agencies consist of establishing the framework conditions, objectives, motivations and incentives for the development of alternative and educational systems.
