This humorous and insightful talk remains one of the most-watched TED talks of all time. Sir Ken Robinson argues that current educational systems suppress the diverse God-given creative talents of children in favor of prioritizing academic standardization. Robinson argues that creativity is as important as literacy and should be treated with the same status in our education systems. From a Christian perspective, we will discuss how it highlights the importance of nurturing every child's unique divine potential rather than discouraging the diverse gifts with which they were created.
Please RSVP so we can prepare accordingly.
