    Paul Collard on the Creative Habits of Mind and about how creativity is how we learn.

    Paul Collard has been the Chief Executive of Creativity, Culture and Education, where he retired from. He has 25 years’ experience of working in the arts and is an expert in delivering programs that use creativity and culture as drivers of social and economic change. 'We defined the creative habits of mind: curious, inquisitive, persistent, disciplined and collaborative. I believe that creativity is the way we learn. I believe that learning is the most wonderfull thing we humans have came up with. But the tragedy is that most children are locked out of learning, by schools, who do not promote learning, but promote schooling.'

    Sanja Krsmanović Tasić on how arts education can be seen as peace education.

    Sanja Krsmanović Tasić is the president of CEDEUM, a youth theater company in Belgrade, Serbia. Throughout her career she had many roles, starting out as a dancer, and slowly moving on to directing and founding many initiatives for theatre and dance. In this conversation we hear Sanja tell us about the importance of having mentors who help you grow in your professional work. And, as she makes clear, she was born in Yugoslavia and now lives in Serbia. She reminisces on working as a dancer during the war in Yugoslavia, how she missed having words as a dancer to voice her opinion. This was her motivation to go into theatre. 'We see arts education also as peace education. If you change one person, on child. Give them the freedom to visualize that another world is possible, it's a good start.' Listen to this very personal account of an inspiring career.

    Georgina Kakoudaki on how students find their voice in theatre.

    Georgina Kakoudaki is a theater director and pedagogue in Greece. Georgina has a big love for working with young adults. Kids from 14 or 15 should learn how to speak their minds and voice their opinions. Georgina tells us about how she approaches this work in the project: Theatre within the walls. 'Theatre can be a safe environment where you can confront yourself, explore different sides of your personality. The arts can give you a safety net, where you are allowed to think differently and experiment with thought and opinions. This is vital at the age of 14.'

    Tania Banotti on building bridges with the Creative Ireland initiative.

    Tania Banotti is the director of Creative Ireland. An ambitious program that works toward enabling all people in Ireland to realize their full creative potential. Tania takes us through the programm. You'll hear about different governmental departments working together. She has a very hollistic view and is able to dream big but with realistic nuances. 'We asked the 170 Irish education Inspectors to include arts and creativity in their school visits. For example, to ask the head teacher of a school: Where does creativity live in this school, show me some examples of how you are being creative? And at the same time, not let it be another thing to tick. We believe, like the old saying: what get's measured gets valued, this can have big impact'.
