As a manifesto and Declaration of Imagination, IMAGINE is a call to imagine and re-imagine the role that imagination can play in creating a better world and enhancing the quality of our lives.

What is imagination to you? What does it mean to imagine? Why is imagination important? How are you applying imagination in your life and work?
