Education
Finding your passion 06 Feb 2009
Why nurturing creativity in schools is so important.

Learning and creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson believes that we are all born with tremendous natural capacities but we lose touch with them as we spend more time in the world.  He argues that it’s as important to develop creativity in a child as it is to develop his or her literacy. In a new book he explains how individuals like Paul McCartney and the BAFTA award winning dancer and choreographer Gillian Lynne were encouraged to follow their passions, and as result went on achieve exceptional success. Ken Robinson joins Jenni along with Gillian Lynne to tell the story of her remarkable career.
