For along time, creativity at school was just about music, poetry and painting but the true nature of creativity is much, much wider than that.
It is about ideas, imagination, dealing with change, dealing with challenge, developing confidence in oneself and, in so many ways, breaking the rules.
As Picasso said, 'Every act of creation is first an act of destruction'.
Think of it from an evolutionary point of view. For anything to survive it needs to evolve. To change. It's the same with thoughts. If we just teach young people to think our thoughts then thinking doesn't change.
And when something fails to change, it fails to survive.
