Sir Ken Robinson, a leading thinker on creativity and innovation and acclaimed bestselling author of The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything, will challenge us to embrace breakthrough thinking in education with his own special brand of wit and originally. Why is it essential to promote creativity? What's the problem? Why do so many adults think they're not creative? Most children are buzzing with ideas. What happens to them as they grow up? What should be done? Is everyone creative or just a select few? Can creativity be developed? If so, how? In exploring these questions, Sir Ken argues for radical changes in how we educate all students to meet the extraordinary challenges of living and working in the 21st century.
