If you’ve ever felt that you had something inside of you that wasn’t embraced, acknowledged, or appreciated, maybe it’s not you, it’s the system you live in and the people around you. Sir Ken Robinson talks about the lack of creativity and expression in educational settings and why this is a problem. Don’t worry, Dana and I are coming up with ways to start the healing, stay tuned

Absolutely brilliant video, have to agree. A huge problem that faces society as a whole, but one that if solved could unleash immense creative potential.
I live in South Africa and see the effect of this here too. We’re in a place where necessity should breed invention, and in some cases it does. Sadly we have rather poor school attendance and pass rates in general, something which I think this also contributes to. If we could make school creative and fun, the learning would take care of itself!
