Creativity in Education

[Adam Blatner]

      I received this through the drama therapy list. (Once again, I want to build bridges 
among the AATE, ATHE, IDEA, drama therapy, psychodrama, expressive arts, and related 
communities).
  It features Sir  Ken Robinson who lectures about the importance of creativity in 
education. It is approximately 20 minutes long, but worth checking out. Here is a 
description:
   Sir Ken Robinson_ (http://www.ted.com/index.php/speakers/view/id/69)  makes an 
entertaining (and profoundly moving)  case for creating an education system that nurtures 
creativity, rather than  undermining it. With ample anecdotes and witty asides, Robinson
> points out the  many ways our schools fail to recognize -- much less cultivate -- the 
> talents of  many brilliant people. "We are  educating people out of their creativity," 
> Robinson says.
