Daniel Pink Singing Our Song
June 3, 2010Recently DP spoke in OC
If you haven’t read Daniel Pink’s Book “A Whole New Mind” yet I highly recommend it. Some of us have been fortunate to hear him speak once or twice and know what he says is true since we live it day to day, so to speak. Mr. Pink is somewhat new to the idea that arts education is important but he is the one thousands of people are listening to and reading his words.
Recently he spoke at Segerstrom Concert Hall, his presentation was called “The Creative Edge: Innovation, Education and the Changing World of Work.” The audience was filled with leaders from education and business. He spoke of the importance of quality arts education programs in order to form well-rounded, “competitive, competitive job-force warrior”. His message includes the shift from the “information age” to the “conceptual age” in the workpace and that the arts prepare young people to adapt to 21st century workplace.
