education
it’s killing creativity this is a very
serious and profound subject that we are
talking about we probably heard this
sentence before it this Center was
repeated by many authors intellectuals
and teachers I agree with the statement
and we’re going to talk about it
but before we do this before we dive
into this point let me introduce you
some this is Duarte Duarte is 7 and he
was diagnosed with autism and this is
Ana margarita his mom we met a few weeks
ago in Portugal during a social project
that I’m involved with Ana margarita
looks pretty happy in this picture but
actually she’s suffering and you know
why because the artist teacher just told
her that he couldn’t stay in school
anymore and you wanna know why because
she said Duarte is to create it to
school can you believe that
I mean whirring 2017 and a teacher just
said that I was shocked when I heard
this the first time and I tried to
understand how can I teach her can say
this and I think I discovered so let’s
do a quick trip back in time and I would
try to explain to you the first contact
humanity had good education was in
ancient Greece during that time
education was seen as something to
connect just two things body and spirit
they had no rules no dress code no
evaluation but then people thought
that’s not enough we need to make
education more seriously
and then in 18th century we had the
Industrial Revolution and with it the
traditional educational schooling system
was invented and of course it was pretty
similar to factory or assembly line so
kids start to have time to arrive and
leave school they had to wear uniforms
and a noise of a bell would notify them
the start and the end of their days but
then people thought that’s not enough we
need to take education more seriously so
they decide to create a system of
evaluation and then they start to put
exams they give it rewards and
punishment but then people said that’s
not enough we need to take education
even more seriously and then they said
ok so let’s create something after
school after university let’s create
something called MBA and let’s let’s do
it
expensive let’s do it even harder even
more restrict let’s do it even more
seriously and that’s how our educational
system is today so what’s next
should we keep saying it’s not enough
should I keep saying that we need to
take education more seriously I don’t
think so
I think we should say that’s enough now
we need to take education less seriously
and when I say less seriously please
don’t get me wrong I’m not saying that
MBA is not important of course it is I’m
not saying that exams are not important
of course they are what I’m talking
about is we need to change the way we
are related to education the the way
change the way we see education why so
serious
and and I’m thinking about this moment
I mean why I’m so serious we are in this
amazing theater look around look at the
people right right next to you look at
and give you that big smile maybe a hug
and if you are in your home or leave
watching on stream take a deep breath
and give yourself a big smile you see it
doesn’t hurt but change everything
change the energy and that what I’m
talking about the same way this guy dr.
patch Adams the real one not robbing
Williams this guy a few a few years ago
looked at Madison and asked why so
serious and then the next day he just
took off his uniform put a red nose
dresses a clown and start changing the
way he was doing medicine of course he
remains doctor he kept giving medicine
to his patient he just did one thing he
just changed the way to do it he just
make it more fun more joyful and with
this he changed the relationship
patients have with healthcare with
hospital and he got incredible results
that’s what I’m talking about that’s
what I’m talking about
for me learning it’s an invisible
process and it needs emotion it needs
inspiration it needs to touch our hearts
think with me how many times in our
lives have we cried or left for some
reason and we learn from that experience
and we’ve learned from that why because
we’re talking about feelings we remember
that when ESCO four pillars of learning
are
learn to know learn to do learn to live
together and learn to be why so serious
I mean I believe that jokes hugs games
informality helps classes to be better I
believe that education could be fun
actually it should be fun and I’m a
teacher by the way and that’s me and I
used to wear this to teach for adults
innovation creativity holacracy and
there’s a very important point here the
fact that I’m wearing a dress does not
lower the educational content of my
class it actually has the opposite
effect
I believe teachers needs to help
students to grasp content and I believe
that would fund we can do this why so
serious
eight years ago I joined these two guys
Iago and Philip in trying to change
education in Brazil we want to turn
education into entertaining
we want to make it fun we want to make
an interesting want to make it nice and
cool and we did it so we develop our own
methodology and we call it experience
learning and that’s me again
and that’s another class at perestroika
over the last 10 years we’ve been
putting this methodology in practice
we’ve been testing improving changing it
and now this methodology is based on 23
principles divided in four pillars
content emotion form and structure and
about two years ago we decide to what
write a book about it and we did it
actually Philippa did it and you know
what we did we just give it for free
we just subscribe in the most permissive
Creative Commons license
and when people ask why guys why you did
that and we say why not I mean our
purpose is to help changing education
make it even better make even fun
entertaining it’s not make profit of it
and here’s the best part we believe
that’s important but neuroscience proved
it dr. Judy Willis a neurologist wrote
several books about it she just proved
that learn expand experience help
increase dopamine endorphins and oxygen
all these things to promote learning so
why so serious why we keep doing things
in education so serious I believe that
we need more teachers dresses as
princess I believe that I need more
chaos pilot university where you learn
about leadership playing with a yo-yo I
believe that we need more Green Schools
i screwing Indonesia without walls we’re
in this campus children’s learn to be
humans and to joy and live life I
believe we need more locomotive labs
with high quality and fun they are
changing the learning process for kids
with special needs the same case of
Duarte so as I said at the beginning if
education is giving creativity I believe
that we are killing education want to
take it too seriously
I believe it neuroscience neurology also
believe it if you also believe join us
and just one more thing that’s me again
if you I invite you if you see some
traditional educational system happening
just put on your invisible mask and ask
why so serious thank you very much
