Reimagining Schools for Creativity (Jonty Archibald, Global Academy)

Jonty Archibald is the principal of the Global Academy: a university technical college designed to equip young people for a career in the media and entertainment industries.Though still in its infancy, the Global Academy has already redefined what a school is and can be. Global provides 14-19 year olds accessibility to study oft reserved for university subjects, such as computer science, digital media, art and drama, within a learning environment that is state of the art and believes that the education of “every child matters.”Feeling disengaged from his own schooling, Jonty Archibald now finds himself as the leader of the kind of school he wished he could have attended as a youth. As principal, he brings his knowledge of education and industry together, helping to open the gates for young and aspiring creatives.Topics of discussion include: Jonty’s beginnings, creativity, school curriculum, schooling during the pandemic, online learning, the role of education, and how the youth have changed.This is Jonty Archibald’s Rocket Fuel.———————Follow James @JamesErskine (twitter.com/jameserskine)Connect with James on LinkedIn (linkedin.com/in/jameserskine)Follow Rocket @WeAreRocketHQ (twitter.com/wearerockethq)Follow Rocket on LinkedIn (linkedin.com/company/thebigshot)wearerocket.co.uk/Follow Global Academy @TheGAcademy twitter.com/thegacademyFollow Global Academy on Instagram instagram.com/thegacademyFollow Global on Facebook facebook.com/TheGAcademy/globalacademy.com/ Hosted on Acast.
