Hi guys, sometime we are just in the mood for some special words… something that help us keeping faith in what we are doing. Please take 20 minutes out of your busy day, sit down, get a cold drink and have a look at the video below:

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

“Kids would always take a chance, they’re not afraid of being wrong…

If you’re not prepared to be wrong you will never come up with anything original

… by the time they get to become adult most kids have lost this capacity, have become frightened of being wrong. We run our company in the same way, we stigmatize mistakes. Nowadays mistakes are the worst things you can make.

The result is we are educating people out of their creative capacity”.

This man is an inspiration and a role model for many, he doesn’t sell anything (do not worry) but speaks about educating our children in a funny and clever way.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

    simply…true, sometimes we forget that everybody is “good”in doing something and this is the real treasure of being different. A deaf education creates silent participants …and as trainers we fail.
