Since our childhood, we all know how to dream. Asleep and awake.
Thanks to the power of our imagination we believe we are capable of achieving anything we can dream of. However, as we grow older we lose this wonderful ability we’ll later need to be creative, to innovate, to change our lives and to transform our organizations.
An illustration – ask any class of 2nd graders to raise their hands if they think they are artists, and I’ll bet every hand will go up. Yet, by the time this same group of kids reach 7th grade, the same question will barely raise an arm.
What happened? Is it possible that our learning culture sapped the creativity and imagination and dreams of our students? This is so sad.
I invite you to watch this wonderful 7 min animated video which dares you to dream again, to challenge your comfort zone, and to enjoy the pleasure of turning your dreams into reality.
Do you dare to dream?
To turn the essence of this video into a group activity, take a look at Comfort Zones.
