What is Spotlight on Creativity?

HundrED in partnership with The LEGO Foundation has released a Spotlight Report on Creativity. This research project aimed to discover and celebrate leading innovations doing exceptional work in fostering creativity in education. The comprehensive report was released during a special showcase at the HundrED 2020 Innovation Summit on Creativity in Education.

The 100-minute showcase opened with a keynote from Sarah Bouchie, the Vice-President of Global Programmes at the LEGO Foundation, who shared her insights and reflections from the Spotlight findings and process.

Spotlight: Creativity

Sir Ken Robinson’s 2006 TED talk “Do schools kill creativity?” was a clarion call that sparked a groundswell of support to foster creativity, which has since become central to discussions around school change globally. The question is how we can make this happen. HundrED and The LEGO Foundation have teamed up to answer that question by shining a Spotlight on 20 leading innovations fostering creativity in the world today.
