The RSA have now added a link to download Sir Ken Robinson’s talk that he gave there last week called ‘The Element’ – “the point at which natural talent meets personal passion.”_
I like Sir Ken’s view of education, namely that most schools kill creativity and dearly hope that some government bods responsible for education listen to what he has to say.
I also like that when you are given the honour of a knighthood, paradoxically everyone gets to call you by your first name, albeit it with “Sir” tagged on. So now he’s called Sirken.
He is a good presenter too and uses the classic tell-a-story, explain why it’s meaningful technique with a good dose of humour too, but the message of his talk is very important indeed.
