becoming the
town square for
the global village
of tomorrow.
Bill Gates


Our task is to educate
their whole being so
they can face the future.
We may not see the
future, but they will and
our job is to help them
make something of it. Sir Ken Robinson


It is the long history of
humankind (and animal
kind, too) those who
learned to collaborate
and improvise most
eﬀectively have
prevailed. Charles Darwin


What...


“…new solutions
that simultaneously
meet social needs &
create new social
relationships or
collaborations.” Young Foundation


We don’t need to
go out of our way
ﬁnd innovation,
because it is
already around us.

Where it is
present,
innovation needs
to be recognised
and actively
fostered.

Innovation needs
to be given
resources so that
it can thrive.


Innovation
demands patience
– success is rarely
immediate.
