    THE CREATIVITY, EMOTIONS, AND THE ARTS PROGRAMME, OUR TRAJECTORY

    One of the goals of the Fundación Botín is to develop people’s creativity through art and the emotions that it generates.

    In 2012, the Fundación Botín published the international report “Good Morning Creativity!” which underlined the importance of creativity in our society, namely in education.

    In 2014, the Fundación went a step further with the international report “Arts and Emotions that Enhance Creativity” which analyses how the arts, namely plastic arts, cinema, dance, literature, music and theatre, move us and stimulate our imagination and our ability to create, this in fact was the point of departure of the Centro Botín.
