We at PeKi are serious “players”! A balanced education is a key ingredient for us and we could not have found a better person to inspire us, with more credentials and profound involving approach on the field than: Sir Ken Robinson PhD
Yes! “Sir”. He received a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II for his services to the arts.
Sir. Robinson, is internationally recognized leader in the development of creativity, innovation and human resources in education and in business.
He marvelously advocates the importance of letting the kids be creative, a value that we modestly apply through all our experiences.
Moreover, and more importantly, he is a very fun character.
The video we highly recommend to watch, or to watch it again, is his famous 2006 presentation at TED Conference, regarding to the importance of creativity as much as literacy on children’s curriculum.

If you are more interested in education, perhaps, you should also watch the latest brief interview at CBS News Morning Show, with Sir. Robinson, about his new book, “ Creative Schools: The Grassroots Revolution That’s Transforming Education”. It is about a personalized education, developing a love of learning, preparing the new generation for the real challenges of our times.
