I agree Bill - there will be an opportunity for you to be creative - I'm hoping this meeting will be about sharing and actively participating - it certainly won't be about everyone passively listening!

A theme of making things seems to be emerging. Making with hands as with Satish Kumar's Head, Heart and HANDS philosophy, Charles Leadbeater's" young people should go to school to make things. The music that Ben Tniswood pointed us to and our work in making theatre. Theatre as a physical and constructive, co operative event. it is not just Kinetic learners that benefit from active learning, movement is shown to enable us to embed learning and help make meaning in a teaching environment. I suppose we would be missing a trick and doing a disservice this process if the meeting in Haverfordwest was just sitting down to listen.

From Charles Leadbeater writing in The Observer on 12 Ideas that could help save the Labour party: "Education has become a 16-year apprenticeship in diligently delivering the right answers at the right time, when it needs to prepare young people to be adaptive, persistent, collaborative problem solvers, capable of coping with uncertainty with only limited resources. Above all, young people should go to school to make things - films, software, food, products, art - and learn how to earn a living while also passing exams." Absolutely! It's time for a massive expansion in creative, vocational learning.
