TedTalk by Sir Ken Robinson, "Do Schools Kill Creativity?"
We are educating people out of their creative capacities. Picasso one said that all children are born artists.

I have a great admiration for the thinking of Sir Ken Robinson... He speaks so eloquently and argues for creative learning...and so much more...
A stand out quote for me from this interview;
"What tends to dull the appetite [for learning] is being force fed things that people can't see an immediately relevance in or don't have an immediate interest in it...or where they are forced to learn in situations where they are inimitable... you know, 8 hours a day, sit still, do as you're told."
Bring on different ways of engaging with people around learning so that they not only 'get it' but they really enjoy it and become life long learners.
I recommend this 15 minute video to you!
