Vu-jà-dé
Vujàdé is the opposite of déjà-vu and refers to something that
has not yet taken place or has not yet existed.
Looking for new solutions.
Critically questioning existing structures and behavior.
Looking at something from a different or an unusual point of view.
In other words: Vujàdé stands for innovation.
