  • Human creativity, everyone is invested in education. 
  • Educating for the future, it is very unpredictable. 
  • Children have an extraordinary capacity for creativity, that are typically squandered.
  • Creativity is as important as literacy and should be treated with the same status. 
  • Kids will take a chance, even if they do not know, they are not scared of being wrong. 
  • We are educating people out of the capacity, people are growing out of their creativity
  • Human imagination is a gift and should be used wisely, creative capacity should be used to see children for the hope that they are and the children will see the future and we need to help them see it to the fullest potential.

  • “I Can” as a valuable lesson for children, when learning in embedded in school and life then children should be enables and be able to change and be the change in the world. They can be less helpless. 
  • Specifically in Sethi’s case, child labor laws being abolished and her students being able to go and get an education in their community, went from teacher telling me to “I am doing it”.
  • When children are empowered, not only do they do good, they do extremely well. 
  • The city becomes ‘infected’ with the idea of “I can” and “you can” - the city became a playground to spread this message. 
  • Awareness then spread to 100,000 children saying “I Can”, children designing solutions on their own, using their own creativity and imagination to spread this message. 
  • Children leading campaign and teaching their parents and adults how to read and write, children teaching adults in the community how to do good work, raising money in an auction. 
  • Final statement, “We Can”.

This will allow children to grow in all subject areas and give them the positive attitude they need to do well in school and progress to have a successful future. ]]> 2018-04-09 16:20:49 UTC https://padlet.com/victoria_godfrey2/3dj523ggvqun/wish/249899865
