TED | Talks | Sir Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity? (video)

TED | Talks | Sir Ken Robinson: "Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining (and profoundly moving) case for creating an education system that nurtures creativity, rather than undermining it. With ample anecdotes and witty asides, Robinson points out the many ways our schools fail to recognize -- much less cultivate -- the talents of many brilliant people. 'We are educating people out of their creativity,' Robinson says. The universality of his message is evidenced by its rampant popularity online. A typical review: 'If you have not yet seen Sir Ken Robinson's TED talk, please stop whatever you're doing and watch it now.'"

Workshop about art and space

Picture_2"Jordi Ferreiro designs and leads workshops for kids to make art in and about space. He sets them free with rolls of colored tape, the same he uses in his own work. About his workshop at the Centre d'art La Panera in Lleida, near Barcelona, Jordi says:

'The kids was freaking out because they never have ABSOLUTLEY FREEDOM for drawing in the space, without paper and with the 3D possibility. They starting making really small rubbertape drawing, and later was have been constructing houses, spiderwebs... really really cool!'
