TRANSCRIPT

Do schools kill creativity?

What is creativity?

“Conformity is the worst enemy of creativity. Anyone who is unable to take risks cannot be creative.”

— Oliviero Toscani

Creativity is to be free in mind-the freedom to try new ideas and not always the same as previously

Creativity is to think of something, to make something up in your mind

Creativity is to invent things- it's thinking skills, brainstorming, sometimes can be

done alone or sometimes in a group

Creativity is original spontaneity

Creativity is to think outside the square, opening your eyes, to take risks

Creativity is to have many idea

Creativity is multiple ways of doing things

Creativity is being an artist, not to give up, to put more fantasy into something

Creativity is making a new trick, making new rule, bending the rules

Creativity is not thinking and expressing your feelings

Creativity is the individual experience and interpretation of his/her environment

Creativity is putting yourself outside you body

Creativity is building an idea without constraint

Creativity is making something new and inventive that has the power to change the world

Sir Ken Robinson, ‘Do schools kill creativity?

Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining and profoundly moving case for creating an education system that nurtures (rather than undermines) creativity.
