For all our Futures: A Tribute to Sir Ken Robinson

​Join us to pay tribute to Sir Ken's life's work and how he inspired Galileo and millions around the world.

The founders of Galileo, Vlad Stan & Kelly Davis will discuss with host Daniel Prince how Sir Ken's work influenced them in the creation of Galileo.

Sir Ken Robinson has suggested that to engage and succeed, education has to develop on three fronts. Firstly, that it should foster diversity by offering a broad curriculum and encourage individualisation of the learning process. Secondly, it should promote curiosity through creative teaching, which depends on high quality teacher training and development. Finally, it should focus on awakening creativity through alternative didactic processes that put less emphasis on standardised testing, thereby giving the responsibility for defining the course of education to individual schools and teachers. He believed that much of the present education system in the United States encourages conformity, compliance and standardisation rather than creative approaches to learning. Robinson emphasised that we can only succeed if we recognise that education is an organic system, not a mechanical one. Successful school administration is a matter of engendering a helpful climate rather than "command and control".
