The Fine Arts League of the Carolinas Art School and TEDxAsheville present internationally recognized leader in the development of creativity, innovation and human potential, Sir Ken Robinson, April 27 at the Asheville Civic Center.
Why don’t schools and workplaces get the best out of people? Sir Ken Robinson, one of the world’s leading critics of the modern educational system, argues it’s because we’ve been educated to become good workers rather than creative thinkers.
The video of his 2006 talk, “Do Schools Kill Creativity?” has been downloaded more than five million times and has been seen by an estimated 200 million people in over 150 countries. The most popular words framing blog posts on his talk? “Everyone should watch this.”
