Ken Robinson Video Interview On ‘Finding Your Element,’ Changing The Educational System

Sir Ken Robinson, author and international advisor on education, is now giving people advice on how to improve their lives in his recently released book, Finding Your Element. “Human talent is a bit like natural resources of the Earth,” Robinson told Uinterview in an exclusive interview. “It is often buried under the surface, you really have to go looking for it and digging for it.”

Robinson is an international advisor on education who is determined to change the education system to promote more diversity and creativity. Robinson served for four years as the Director of the Arts in Schools Project in an effort to make a change to the system of education in the UK. He eventually moved to the U.S, where he currently resides in L.A .and continues to fight for a change in the education system in the U.S. He has gained an international audience with his acclaimed TED talks, which are available on YouTube.

Finding Your Element is the sequel to The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything, co-written by Lou Aronica. Inspired by the widespread response he received from readers, Robinson decided to write the sequel to answer their questions.

One of the biggest reasons people get stuck in life doing what they’re not passionate about, according to Robinson, is the education system. His words of advice to college students who feel stuck in the noncreative educational system: “ If you do go to college, that doesn’t set a track for the rest of your life. It’s just another phase and you can move or change directions if you choose to.”
