Gerard Darby: Science and Creativity

from Four Thought Hosted by BBC Radio 4

Creativity is just as vital in science and engineering as it is in art and drama, argues Gerard Darby. Yet the present education system is undermining young people's natural creativity, he says, and is in urgent need of reform. He highlights some novel approaches, and explains why this matters both for the individuals, and for our wider society and economy. Four Thought is a series of talks which combine thought provoking ideas and engaging storytelling. Recorded in front of an audience at the RSA in London, speakers take to the stage to air their latest thinking on the trends, ideas, interests and passions that affect our culture and society. Producer: Giles Edwards.
