How to save the world? A global journey into making our lives better…

We are educating children for a world that doesn’t exist yet. And in our rapidly changing global setting we cannot say what the world will be when our children will have to face it 40 years form now. Therefore the most important feature an education must have is making children adaptable and creative.

Our civilisation is facing some of the biggest challenges in the whole history of mankind. The only way we can possibly get out of the vicious cycle we seem to be in is by thinking out of the box and thinking creatively…

Can a different type of intelligence be mistaken for ADHD?  Is education hampering non academic behaviour? Are schools all around the world geared as a selection process for college entrance? Is an excess of accountability inhibiting creation? Is there such a thing as academic inflation, and if yes, could this lead to a crash like we see in the economy?

Sir Ken Robinson in the following video ask for a new paradigm of education, one that addresses the human being as a whole, one that helps each child to reach its full potential, be it to be a dancer or a university professor.
