According to the Cambridge English Dictionary, "creativity" means the ability to produce or use original and unusual ideas. You can find this concept in psychology, medicine, construction etc. To add to it, Creativity is an ability that helps us process the wealth of information that our minds collect and forge connections between different pieces of information in order to find a solution to a problem in a new way, or to come to a new understanding of the problem itself.
Creativity has as many different manifestations as it does definitions by which people understand it. Among the many things creativity can be, here are a few:
→ Creativity is when you walk down the street and an idea strikes that changes your perception of a problem
→ Creativity is a state of mind in which our brains create connections between previously unlinked pieces of information and knowledge
→ Creativity is a scientist, exploring every possible angle and perspective of their research question in order to see it a new way
→ Creativity is an attitude of empowerment that focuses on our individual and collective potential to reshape our environment and our world
→ Creativity is exploration, and as such it manifests itself in art
→ Creativity is inherent in every human being: it can be developed as a skill, but it is nonetheless a natural ability of our minds
→ Creativity creates and strengthens connections between people and within society; creativity helps the individual connect to the world
