About creativity in our education system...

In Sir Ken Robinson’s conference he talks about the importance of creativity in the tradicional educación, especially considering that we live in a global society, where every time is more necessary to have professionals capable of giving integral solution to problems.

Robinson says that we are all born creative and is the environment that corrupt us, instilling fear of misunderstanding, to be part of a society based on success and punishes failure. Educated like that, the children have afraid to make mistakes, to not meet expectations and will never do anything creative or original.

The speaker, calls to give equal importance to subjects like music and art as language and mathematics, even mixed together, since it is proven that children learn more if they use both hemispheres of the brain.

You are in the twenty-first century and education must be responsive to changes in society. "The greatest gift to humanity is the intelligence, then we must discover the care and use of it. The only way to do that is to give our skills the real importance and giving the children a chance to develop them. We will not see the future, but they will, and they must be prepared to live in a world that will require creative and integral solutions.
