Ken Robinson talks in the video about the importance of creativity in human acts. He criticizes the educational system because it cuts the capacity for creativity. In his presentation Ken considered three relevant things: the extraordinary evidences of human creativity, the educational system in the most of the countries in the world and the capacity for innovation. He says: children must be helped to find their talents.
He gives some examples about two children, the girl who is drawing God and the boy who does a mistake in a representation. Ken gives some reflections about these examples and says that in the school children learned that mistakes are the worst that they can do, and when they come to be adults the are afraid to do them. He also says that if you are afraid or you are not prepared to be wrong you never can do anything original. So he criticizes this result of educational, because the systems are educating people out of their creative capacity.
In the most of countries in the world the educational systems have the same distribution and priority of subjects. The most important are mathematic and languages, they are in the top. Then we find the humanities, and in the bottom are the arts. He says that the objective of school system is educating people to be successful like a university professors. But he criticizes that because people focus only in his or her heads, and forget about their bodies and lose their creative capacity.
Then he talks about intelligence, he say three important things. First, intelligence is diverse, we think with all of our senses, he gives the examples of a famous choreographer. Second, intelligence is dynamic; we can use multiple aspects of intelligence to solve our problems. And third intelligence is unique. Everyone thinks in different ways.
He finally says that we must rethink the educational system, and the way we use the human ecology to confront the world ecology changes that we are living.
