Nurturing Creativity

Sir Ken Robinson, of who I know very little, talks inspiringly about the development of creativity within the confines of an education system. He closes by concluding that in order to succeed in stabilising our global environment, we need to develop a 'human ecology', one which would be adopted and taught to children from their inception in school. This would mean re-thinking the fundamental values that are instilled, moving away from the traditional preparatory training for employment and ultimate acquisition of wealth, and concentrating on enriching the mind.
