1 小时 10 分钟Education is meant to be the process by which we help people certainly understand the world around them, but also understand the world within them.
And it's really only when we understand more about the world within us that we can engage fully with the world around us.
So there are these moments in time.
Where you see or hear or participate.
In something that just stops you cold in your tracks.
And it's almost like everything has changed after that.
One of those such moments happened in 2006, when Sir Ken Robinson stepped onto the now famed Ted stage and offered his talk on education and the state of schools.
And that talk has since become the most viewed TED talk in the history of the event, and has been viewed and estimated more than 250 million times in different ways and different groups around the world.
When I saw that, I was blown away by his ideas and the impact that it could have and the truth of his message.
But I got curious, too.
Who was this man?
I'd never heard of him before, and I wanted to know more.
And it's literally taken this long for me to actually create the opportunity to sit down with him.
And I did in New York just a short time ago, and we talked about not just his ideas around schools and education and creativity, which are pretty well known, but we took a really big step back into his life, his childhood in Liverpool, some profoundly changing incidents that happened very early in his life, and that really set him on a course of just eternal impact and curiosity.
So I'm really excited to be able.
To share that conversation with you guys.
It's one that I haven't heard, which is why I so deeply wanted to have it with him, so I could learn.
Where did this amazing mind, this amazing curiosity, and these incredible ideas come from?
I hope you enjoy the conversation as.
Much as I did.
