During the three days of the event, Pelotas Parque Tecnológico will remain open from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, receiving participants for workshops coordinated by specialists. In Pelotas, the celebration activities for the international date will be led by the designer, an expert in creativity and professor of the Design course at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS), William Parolin.
Jeferson Sigales, CEO of Studio Sigales and Advisor to the PPT, points out that creativity is what characterizes his work, making the date even more special for the venue’s programming. “Creativity drives us every day here at Studio Sigales, and this year we couldn’t miss out on this great event that is World Creativity Day. We decided to do our part and contribute to inspiring more people, through lectures on design, food, entrepreneurship and branding here at Pelotas Parque Tecnológico”, he adds.
The arrival of the event also presents expectations for the integration of various segments present in the ecosystem. “It is with great joy that we are going to host these activities at Pelotas Parque on this very significant date, which is World Creativity Day, and counting on so many of our inspiring talents who, on a voluntary basis, come to offer high-level events to the Pelotas community. Unmissable is the best word to call everyone’s participation”, says Rosâni Ribeiro, Executive Director of the PPT.
