How education kills creativity

Thursday 30th Oct, 2008 in: Community Blog by Chris Curtis

If you haven’t seen Sir Ken Robinson talk about creativity and education, then you are truly missing something. This is a fantastic talk given at the TED conference some years back. I’m a big fan of TED and find there’s an incredible range of topics covered which are both inspiring and often also give me ideas for content. Sir Ken has also written an excellent book ‘Out of our minds’ on creativity and education which I highly recommend. Both address the need to capture young people’s excitement and interest in learning. If you take lessons or assemblies as a schools worker, you might find it helpful.

The Easter Story

Friday 6th Mar, 2009 in: Community Blog by Wayne Dixon

We have just had our Easter Schools Week ( a presentation in church for local schools) and have been very encouraged!!! Not just because of what happened here but because of other events happening over these next 4 weeks of term. Altrinchan to Woodley: Gravesend to Glasgow - 30 locations putting on presentations IN CHURCH for local schools (just the ones I’m awre off). It’s been the most SIGNIFICANT thing I’ve been involved with as a schools worker. The biggest thrill has been hearing about these events start, continue and some now been running for a few years. BRILLIANT!!! It’s very doable and probably it’s biggest stregnth is it’s flexibility.
