Out of Our Minds - Learning to Be Creative
“Ken Robinson writes brilliantly about the different ways in which creativity is undervalued and ignored in Western culture and especially in our educational systems.” - John Cleese
Creativity expert and acclaimed thinker Sir Ken Robinson is renowned for his radical ideas on education reform and innovation in the classroom. Drawing from his groundbreaking book, Out of Our Minds: Learning to Be Creative, Robinson urges schools and colleges everywhere to focus on cultivating creativity and acknowledging multiple types of intelligences. In exploring questions like: Why is it essential to promote creativity? Is everyone creative or just a selective few?
