In this 17½ minute conversation, which I came across via a Twitter update by Paul Sloane, Sir Ken Robinson challenges the way education is done. Towards the end of the interview, Sir Ken Robinson - who, by the way, has a sense of humor that I like - mentions, for example, that creativity is about discovering your personal talents. In this regard, he talks about personalising the curriculum. To teachers reading this, I’d like to ask you to which degree you’re doing just that? In other words, to which degree are you more outside-in than inside-out oriented? To which degree are you, in your teaching approach, more demand oriented than supply oriented?
I visited Ree Park in Denmark earlier this month. I had a great time there. Ree Park is an interesting Experience Economy contribution. Here are some impressions from the day, I spent there: The lemurs in the park look really cute and come really close to guests. The Cheetahs are really agile and can run more than 100 km per hour. This is what the cheetahs had for lunch. Listening to the guide talk to the large number of people watching the feeding of the cheetahs, I learned that it's horse meat. The white powder on the meat is, as I understood it, vitamins. Here's a coke machine in the park that is adapted to the surroundings. Good innovation. I think it’s a good idea to split up the park in different continents. That way, it’s easy for guests to learn about on which continents different animals live.
