We live in worlds that we have forged and composed. It's much more true than any of the species that you see. I mean, it seems to me that one of the most distinctive features of human intelligence is the capacity to imagine, to project out of our own immediate circumstances and to bring to mind things that aren't present here and now.

Helping people to connect with their personal creative capacities is the surest way to release the best they have to offer.
Ken Robinson
Image
Being in your element is not only about aptitude, it's about passion: it is about loving what you do...tapping into your natural energy and your most authentic self.
Ken Robinson
Image
Children are wonderfully confident in their own imaginations. Most of us lose this confidence as we grow up.
Ken Robinson
Image
Teaching is a creative profession, not a delivery system. Great teachers do [pass on information], but what great teachers also do is mentor, stimulate, provoke, engage.
Ken Robinson
Image
Too many people never connect with their true talents and therefore don't know what they are capable of achieving.
Ken Robinson
Image
You can't be a creative thinker if you're not stimulating your mind, just as you can't be an Olympic athlete if you don't train regularly.
Ken Robinson
Image
There isn’t an education system on the planet that teaches dance everyday to children the way we teach them mathematics. Why?
