Sir Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity?

[telecentre-europe]

Sometimes we try to predict what is going to be happening in the next 10 or 20 years to create a global social-economic strategy for our society, and in our particular case, in e-inclusion, to define objectives and milestones to achive.

This is an important task that has to be done, but we can't ignorate that those "manifestos" or declarations are only a guide to follow. We should be prepared to accept impredictible situations and circumstances, new discoveries and perspectives that affect real life.

Creativity could be the key for our progress, it is an important skill to develop and stimulate since the very begining, at schools. Children are creative and they can improvise when facing unknown situations without struggling. Are we loosing this capacity while growing?
