Embracing Sir Ken Robinson's Legacy: How reTHINK is Cultivating a World of Creative Collaboration

As the Chief Creative at reTHINK, I often think about the impact influence Sir Ken Robinson has had on my journey. Sir Ken, a beacon of creativity and education, left behind a legacy that guides and inspires us. His invaluable insights into the essence of creativity, the intricacies of learning, and the boundless potential of human ingenuity have helped drive the ethos behind reTHINK. If you're not yet acquainted with his transformative work, I wholeheartedly recommend diving into his compelling books or his enlightening TED talks.

Grasping Creativity Through Sir Ken's Wisdom

Sir Ken Robinson articulated a thought-provoking definition of creativity as "the process of having original ideas that have value." This notion resonates profoundly, underscoring the vital interplay between novelty and practicality in the creative process. He emphasized that creativity extends beyond mere ideation; it's about turning those ideas into impactful realities. Upholding the belief in the universality of creativity—a sentiment that has become a cornerstone in developing reTHINK—was inspired by Sir Ken’s inclusive vision. Motivated by this, we set out to challenge the narrow confines of 'creativity,' aiming to build a platform where every individual is empowered to tap into and express their creative potential.

Emphasizing the Importance of Imagination

Sir Ken Robinson passionately advocated for cultivating imagination, which he regarded as the source of all creative endeavors. Our ambition has been to create more than just a space for sharing ideas; we envisioned a platform that encourages users to explore the vast terrains of their imagination, pushing beyond traditional boundaries and dreaming up new possibilities.
