The Context
The Context
No-one knows what the future holds and how our lifestyles will change. It’s also impossible to predict how today’s teenagers will be working in tomorrow’s world. One thing is sure! Everyone will have to be more flexible and adaptable, and developing a young person’s creative abilities will better prepare them for an exciting and challenging future.
Ken Robinson, a leading education expert believed “creativity now is as important in education as literacy”. Many teachers, including me, share this view. I believe everyone has creative potential, but in too many cases it’s locked away and untapped by the traditional school programme. The idea for this after-school course is born out of the need to encourage greater creativity in students.
Furthermore, this course can be especially attractive to some neurodivergent teenagers who are are more motivated when learning through visual stimuli than traditional book-based methods.
