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.

If you sit kids down, hour after hour, doing low-grade clerical work, don't be surprised if they start to fidget. Children are not, for the most part, suffering from a psychological condition, they're suffering from childhood.

If you're afraid to be wrong you'll never do anything creative.
Ken Robinson

One of the enemies of creativity and innovation, especially in relation to our own development, is common sense.
Ken Robinson
Image
Teaching for creativity aims to encourage self-confidence, independence of mind, and the capacity to think for oneself.
