Artful Citizen: Introduction

 


Creativity

How would we live if creativity was actively valued and encouraged at work, in school and in our community?

The evidence shows we are more likely to be proactive problem solvers and opportunity makers!

Why Artful Citizen?

Sir Ken Robinson, the famous educator, concluded that the modern educational system essentially "kills creativity". 

He stressed that for people and organisations to thrive, in the context of rapid technological change, we need schools, businesses and communities to foster the skills to help us: 
    • Connect with our innate creativity
    • Problem solve and 
    • Be skilled collaborators
