The Write Elizabeth
writing. creativity. play. life.
This May marks the tenth anniversary of a landmark “All Our Futures” report by the British government trying to bring creativity and culture into its classrooms. While there has been some progress, as a new British charity Creativity Culture and Education points out, there is still a long way to go to introduce creativity into every classroom.
Creativity can make a difference and I’m glad to see someone is making progress. But, obviously, there is much more to be done. (I wish I could help out by getting a job with CCE…perhaps a creative work exchange?!)

One of the authors of this study talks about his report 10 years later. Interesting stuff. I think I most appreciate when he points out that children in schools are learning in a educational system established in the 19th century.
Just to update this earlier post, you might want to read this continuation in the UK’s Independent newspaper.
