Creativity

"What we need urgently are people who can contribute to change and innovation." - Sir Ken Robinson. (2009)

In recent years we have seen several 19th and 20th century technology and production facilities move to emerging industrialized countries all over the world. Only high-tech businesses in specific niche markets stay in our regions. In order for the
economy to survive, highly innovative companies are needed and therfore very innovative employees. Creativity and innovation are becoming ever more valued in our society, while values such as analytical thinking were more important before.
In this context, we often speak of left and right brained people.

Some say a large number of huge changes and paradigm shifts are long overdue. Not only in the field of education, but also concerning technology (think of the transition from petroleum to new energy sources ...). In order to set this evolution inmotion, a radical way of thinking and a large dose of creativity are needed. Education must prepare the active population of the future for these changes. One has to strengthen the skills that are present in everyone, rather than moderate them. And creativity would also need to become more valued by our education system.
