Sir Ken Robinson

It's been great, hasn't it?

I've been blown away by the whole thing.

In fact, I'm leaving.

There have been three themes, haven't there, running through the conference, which are relevant to what I want to talk about.

One is the extraordinary evidence of human creativity in all of the presentations that we've had and in all the people here.

Just the variety of it and the range of it.

The second is that it's put us in a place where we have no idea what's going to happen.

in terms of the future.

No idea how this may play out.

I have an interest in education.

Actually, what I find is everybody has an interest in education.

Don't you?

I find this very interesting.

If you're at a dinner party and you say you work in education, actually, you're not often at dinner parties, frankly.

If you work in education, you're not asked.

And you're never asked back curiously.

That's distracting me.

But if you are, and you say to somebody, what do you do, and you say you work in education, you can see the blood run from their face.

They think, oh my God, why me?

My one night out all week.
