Ken Robinson on RSA
February 5, 2011The Element
The Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufacturers and Commerce has been a cradle of enlightenment thinking and force for social progress. Our approach is multi-disciplinary, politically independent and combines cutting edge research and policy development with practical action.
Ken Robinson talks about his book The Element at the RSA and you can see his video below. It is almost 40 minutes long but worthwhile. Robinson is well known for his TED talk called “Do Schools Kill Creativity?” The Element is about people who have found passion in their lives. People who are doing what they want because they are exactly where they need to be, they have found a purpose in their work and are happy in their lives. It is about people who really know who they are. This book has implications for education and specifically arts education.

I have always enjoyed watching the TED talks so perked up when I saw this post with Ken Robinson. I ‘listened’ to the whole thing as I did some work during my prep time and certainly am the wiser for it. He is such an interesting man, and a wonderful education and creativity advocate. Thanks!
