"95% of students are creative and are only 5% of adults, what happened?"

are the words of Saturnino de la Torre, professor of Curriculum and Educational Innovation at the University of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwhich says it all. Education kills creativity is not worth its name, remains a mere statement .... Statement "what ...? Just take a look at the conflicts that engulf us try to understand that is underpinning our teaching.

The problems are a challenge to our creativity, whether in our schools do not encourage ourselves what we are doing is getting smaller for these problems, humanity will have a "liliputenses." A man who delegates his creativity in others it is giving more than their freedom is their richest desposeyéndose essence.

Our teaching must be faithful defender of the essence, which has to radically change the educational environment. It is not instill anything in our classroom, but to make them a fertile ground for the seeds of humanity that is our children and adolescents, seeds that contain great treasures and mysteries. Recognize as such, our children and students, teaching becomes our eyes, becoming real treasure hunters.

Saturnino de la Torre for years has taught teachers to become these treasure hunters. I invite you to enjoy their words, their experience, their creativity, but all of his presence, what you enjoy!

"When a person is recognized, grow"

interview on "The Counter" from "La Vanguardia" by Ima Sanchis (03/04/2011)

I have 69 years. I was born in Valladolid and live in Barcelona.Doctor of Arts. I've been working, stimulating creativity and research on 38 years. I have 2 children and 2 grandchildren. In I think political priority over the ethics of discourse. I believe in transcendence.

What have you learned as a teacher?

important thing is the love, treatment, building trust ... Convey to students the idea that you believe in it.

What everyone?

Every student has at least one ability that makes him stand out, we help you find it, because when a person is recognized, it grows and comes to learning. Science is showing us that thought and emotion are linked, hence the creation of a new concept ...

Sentipensar.

There is no human activity, says biologist Maturana, not an emotion that becomes established and as an act possible. Both thinking and acting occur in the space determined by emotions.

And what is brought into the classroom?

Aware that is learned throughout the brain. Word, image, music, symbols, they reinforce each other.

Does that mean you have to relate music to math and language?

Yes, working with integration projects in various disciplines, incorporating the life in the classroom.

And what we get with that?

So far our education has been based on packaged content and the student has fueled this type of food.

not sound very good.

need other supplies that will help them develop skills, knowledge, skills, attitudes, values \u200b\u200b... We are training the person to be.

Tell me your experiences.

Some young people have come to school without feeling any emotion towards knowledge, simply because we've got the excitement of the classroom.

Pure process for the future.

"Sentipensar.
fundamentals and strategies to re-enchant
education" is a book that
wrote in collaboration with Maria Candida Moraes

Right. We must change awareness, education reforms are needed basic vision, to realize how important the values, relationships. My role is not to teach but to make students learn.

is clear that something is wrong.

We've gone through four major stages in education. In the agricultural era the foundation of education were the beliefs. In the eighteenth century came the industrialization and with it the training, knowledge of science. In the eighties appear telecommunications and move from knowledge to skills, of believing to have: knowledge, wealth, power ...

And now?

We are in the know-how, and we must educate ourselves to be. To oversimplify, to educate is to get the skills and goodness in people. In every human being there is no creativity and goodness, why not try to share it?

Creativity is one of their songs.

Thirty-eight years of research. In childhood we have a great creative potential which then falls asleep and emerges in the best, given the need, the face of adversity. Would not it be better to incorporate it as a tool from your childhood?

How?

That's the easy and you should stop doing. 95% of students are creative and are only 5% of adults, what happened?

Did you miss the road?

Yes, closed patterns of education and society. The student has the ability to create ideas, to invent, to vibrate, excited. And emotion is the most important standard for creativity to emerge.

And to keep it afloat?

favoring expression and educated according to age: in early childhood is expressed through fantasy school age, adventure and incitement to discovery in adolescence on the challenges, and youth in the pursuit of innovations and the social. And it works through integration projects.

And what is the essence of these projects?

The road is create the conditions for the emergence of creativity in them and applaud. If a student is involved with something creative to applaud literally. The feeling he has for this recognition of his teacher and classmates is unforgettable. If you notice a small thing, it multiplies.

Creatives are many. What is to be applauded?

Creativity must take value out of oneself for the other benefits, and when others receive it and get excited and feel and touch them, creativity is spread and multiply. It's about creating skills, attitudes, habits, core competencies.

understand.

must be on flexibility, which is one of the important values \u200b\u200btogether with the adaptation of creativity, who has assumed no failures because they will be able to move, adapt to situations.

... Condition for happiness.

is create a scenario rather than a classroom, to use all resources that have a component emotional. Behind every great idea is an emotion, a deep passion, a desire, a need to make and communicate.

Do not ask too much into the classroom?

When I am teaching mathematics, with the way I am passing to implicit values. When I become aware of them and do take a value more explicit: the meaning.

best one

began as a professor of elementary and high school until he understood that that had to be was the teacher. He has been coordinator of the Educational Research and Consulting, promoter of the International Network for Creativity and chaired the Association for Creativity. His whole life has revolved around educational innovation, creativity and stimulation, with over forty titles. "Education is bringing out the best in people," he said. For him, it's never to late to learn live and interact, so driving the III International Forum Innovation and Creativity. Adversity as opportunity (sidtransdiciplina@yahoo.es).

"A good teacher has to have some pleasant, a bit of a poet and a lot of pirate." Is an expression of Saturnino De La Torre, do you feel curious about what can make piracy teaching ...? The phrase was said in his speech at the "Children First Congress of the Third Millennium" . I propose to unravel the mystery by seeing and hearing his speech at the congress. Sit and get ready to enjoy 15 delicious minutes.

FOLLOWED THEIR DREAMS AND APPROACH TO THE STARS ...

"I tell young people and young people is essential to let the heart guide you. Follow their star, to follow the sentiments of his heart. No matter what the goal that one is proposed; the priority is to enjoy the road, because this is as important as the goal itself. Do not let anyone tell you can not. "

These are words of Franklin Chang Diaz , the man who has been walking while the space outside a spacecraft. If we give our schools the previous similar messages, and teachers were trying to embody, we would be changing the foundations of our society towards a culture in which people would be giving their best. In this world, sharing our dreams with others would be the greatest wealth, we would live from their dignity and brotherhood great creators replace competitiveness. Then we could talk about real progress.

Chang has had four years when he climbed onto the roof of his house to watch the stars ... it was his first ride space. This experience probably prepared his mind to be led by your heart, perhaps he realized that the wisdom that lives in it is superior to any knowledge, any thoughts. The countdown had begun ... contemplate those same stars from outer space itself ... nothing could stop being an astronaut ... Such is the power of dreams, unstoppable ...

Now let Chang himself talks about his experiences:

interview on "The Counter" from "La Vanguardia" by Ima Sanchis (03/02/2011)

60. , American national, born in San Jose, Costa Rica and Guanacaste and alive in Houston. Married, 4 daughters. The planet is suffering the weight of humanity, we must go into space. I am a believer. I'm more interested how the universe who did it.

Yes, I've been out there alone, the only thing that separates you from the vacuum is the fine display of the diving helmet. There are moments of fear, when the vehicle enters

on the dark side of Earth.

And the planet go?
... And you the feeling of loneliness pervades. Do you think you might have left floating in space and surrounded by stars.

Would you changed that feeling?
Yes, the world seen from space is so quiet that it is impossible not to be saddened by the wars that are happening.

Well we send into space to those who call collateral damage victims.
I do not feel a citizen of a country but a planet. We are all astronauts live in a spacecraft that is our planet. One day the Earth will be the natural park of mankind, a beautiful place to come back to see our roots and not a shattered and unrecoverable. Space is the survival of mankind.

a Latino to become an astronaut is not common.
I left Costa Rica in the hope of being at age 18, when space exploration was in its infancy. But as a child and was an astronaut, poured some chairs in a cardboard box and sat down to do the countdown, and visiting other planets.

What did your father?
was foreman had not been to school. We were a middle class family. A study was hard for me and I was rebellious counterculture against the Vietnam War, peace ... I was never anything special, I went to mass.

And when was to be special?
Never, he was just stubborn, I wanted to go into space and be a scientist, despite not being a good student. I was lucky, I came to the U.S. when was the land of opportunity, with 50 dollars in his pocket and unable to speak English and there were many people who helped me. I worked hard and got a scholarship.

What has failed?
a child I had problems in school, then with my parents. When I came to the U.S. I had great difficulty learning the language. The first school that I ran did not accept me, and I failed my first attempt at my doctorate. I had difficulties, but always a failure brought a better result.

What have you learned?
What you have to be persistent, have faith and optimism. Now I'm in a new chapter of my life, I just got out of NASA and I created my own company, another adventure.

Space transportation at high speed.

Yes, I have patented a plasma engine that reduces the flight time. If you go to Mars invest seven to eight months, with technology VASIMR arrive in six weeks, to 55 km per second. The farther we can go faster.

Where will we live?
Probably in the next decade establish bases on the Moon and in the decade of the 30 we'll be on Mars, whose atmosphere will allow us to greenhouse plants that produce oxygen and nutrients. There will be self-sufficient colonies. Then colonize the moons of Jupiter.

But there is a planet as beautiful as the earth.
In our solar system, but have discovered hundreds of planets orbiting the nearest stars and look forward to plenty of planets like Earth. We will scatter throughout the universe.

And the aliens think?
Life is the norm, not the exception, and probably no life more advanced than ours and less advanced life, the question is: Will we be able to respect them?

¿...?
Have you seen Avatar? We hope that we do not make the same mistakes that were committed by the English with the Indians. Their children or their children's children will have to deal with it. These are the things that one asks when in space.

Not everything is beautiful from up there ...
The Earth is covered by a layer of scrap: thousands of dead satellites. Those who are in polar orbits are dangerous, they all are at the pole and there is a possibility of shock. When they do create a swarm of fragments flying to hyper, like bullets, and colliding with other satellites and destroy them.

Do you intend to rid the universe?
Yes, VASIMR. I want to lose those satellites to burn the Earth's atmosphere or throw the Sun

And turn the sun in the cosmic landfill?
The sun absorbs all these materials, the decay and become elements in the periodic table as oxygen, iron, platinum ... and integrated into the Sun, a sort of cosmic recycling.

What stimulated your imagination?
One night, after four years, I woke my sister, who was six, and climbed onto the roof of the house to eat oranges and stargazing. My parents never learned. Children are born explorers, are the adults who begin to shut the door, and, well, we just boxed.

is not appropriate.
Today I accept the career I chose, my cut-off mark would be insufficient. If you cut a path very talented young man lost along the way, each has its tempo. Let them pursue their dreams, anyone tell you can not.

A crack

is a privilege that students can listen to the PCB of the UB to the doctor in Nuclear Engineering has made three spacewalks to 16 hours and has sensitivity and intelligence to learn it humanely, that has reinvented the 54 years creating the Astra Rocket Company, a Houston-based laboratory and in Costa Rica, do not forget their origins, where it designs and produces rocket engines that will revolutionize the future. A man of humble origins who devotes part of his money and his time to helping the poorest children in their land and that the drugs do not end with young minds. No one comes to nothing without the help of others.

Franklin Chang is now embarked on a new adventure, trying to make our dreams of traveling the solar system can be realized. Has created a company that is designing a plasma engine so important that it would reduce travel time and economic costs, two vital factors in space exploration. Let this dream-maker explain it to us by word of mouth

The loss of confidence in the estates, a first step citizen empowerment

view of the numerous scandals our rulers can have two attitudes: the victim - superficial and uncreative-and integral-deep in search of meaning. Let's talk about the second

Without realizing throughout history we have been giving our power to our beliefs and estates that supported them. These were of all kinds: religious, political, military, scientific, health, education ... etc. We have even seen this fragmentation of our power as an unmistakable symbol of progress: more experienced increased awareness and protection. All this has led to a sense of relief that begins to crumble as they are shelling the scandals. It is as if we had made an ideal image of our father and then we were discovering its defects. If instead of criticizing our ancestor see this as an invitation to the maturity and independence, we are creating the foundation for a life. Every child it comes to "liberate" themselves from their parents Why not bring the same idea to a whole society? The best way to honor our history, the father is "free" of its power.

Each "failure" of our estates can be an opportunity to regain some power that we had delivered. Thus, empowering citizens and we would leave it would be better able to deliver our gifts. From this perspective, the relationship between us would be fuller, richer, because we would all have more to offer. Distrust, perhaps the greatest source of conflict of humanity, is always born of feeling with little power, if we recover, with wisdom, we are helping to build a new world beyond the dramas.

The news that make us doubt our estates can be an incentive to achieve our own maturity, and help change a hierarchical model of society based on the sale of our power and the mistrust by a network model based on trust in ourselves and in others.

I invite you to experiment with this look an interview with the doctor Joan Ramon Laporte exposes some of the "shame" of the medical establishment. It clearly reveals the tie-the transfer of power, who have both doctors and patients, the result of a hierarchical model of knowledge and obscure economic interests.

"The medicines cure or cause any disease"

Joan-Ramon Laporte, head of the department of pharmacology at Valle Hebron

Interview in "Against" "La Vanguardia" by Ima Sanchis (24-1-2011)

62, Barcelona, \u200b\u200b4 children and two grandchildren: Lola Quim. I am a medical doctor, professor of pharmacology at the UAB and direct the Foundation Catalan Institute of Pharmacology. I am for human rights and freedom. The soul, which contains our proposals, we transcend it.

The difference between a medicine and poison is in the dose.

Do you test drugs already on the market?
Yes, because when a drug hits the market has been tested by a few thousand volunteers, but the worldwide market is taken by millions of people and that is when unwanted effects may occur, sometimes with fatal outcome.

What is the drug that has killed more people?
Aspirin, because it is the drug that most people have taken and their risk perception is distorted. A low dose-hundred milligrams a day, is an excellent cardiovascular protector, but a gram-analgesic doses, can cause gastrointestinal bleeding.

Is there data?
In Catalunya there are about 3000 annual cases of gastrointestinal bleeding which 40% are attributable to aspirin and other NSAIDs. U.S. die each year from gastrointestinal bleeding and inflammatory about 15,000 people die of AIDS while 12,000.

Shocking.
Any disease can be caused by a medicine: a Myocardial Infarction by an anti-inflammatory and many other drugs, pneumonia, any neurological or psychiatric disorders may be helped by drugs.

I see what side effects is serious. Many
cause depression, as some that treat high blood pressure or diuretics in elderly. Drugs for insomnia can lead to crises of aggressiveness, irritability often rising due to medications such as benzodiazepines or other short-acting hypnotics.

hipermedicados Are We?
Yes, we got to the point that when a person is sad that this is colloquially depression. Antidepressants are only good for a deep depression, and sadness is not a disease, is a healthy reaction.

Is there no medicine without side effects?
No, each drug has its toll. The European Medicines Agency estimates that each year 197,000 people die in Europe because of adverse effects. U.S. adverse effects are the fourth leading cause of death, behind heart attack, stroke and cancer, and over diabetes, lung disease and traffic accidents.

Is it a lottery?
No, if you take prescription medication or be more attentive to the risks involved is estimated that it could prevent between 65% and 75% of these deaths.

drugs Advertise TV should be banned.
I feel the same. In Spain alone can announce that funds Social Security, but the ruin. We are the European country in relation to GDP, consume more drugs.

Let's talk prices.
are arbitrary. Manufacture the drug, one hundred to five hundred euros, it costs more than two euros including the container. Allegedly paid the research effort. But between 30% and 40% of the average expenditure of the laboratories is intended to trade promotion.

The price is negotiated by the Government.
Yes, but with little success. In Spain the price of the drug is reaching Germany that we double the per capita income.

What a great business.
According to the report of the UN development is the third largest economic sector behind arms and drug trafficking industry.

say that every year they invent new diseases. Yes
on particularly in relation to the mind and sex. Convert shyness and medicalized disease. Now they have invented female sexual dysfunction: female sexual dysfunction ... You suffer, do not laugh ...

right.
... If in six months last article Proposion has rejected a sexual relationship or have not had a full welcome. " Each time you meet one of the committees of hypertension (American, European, or WHO) lower the blood pressure level considered normal, and so does cholesterol.

Explain.
In a few years has decreased to an extent the normal limit of cholesterol that more and more people to be treated. U.S. has increased from 3 million people to 25 in 10 years.

Amazing.
The pharmaceutical industry spends twice (in Spain three times) of its trade promotion budget for research. Trade Representative's visit is to generate some 35 new prescriptions of the drug. The amazing thing is that no one in Health kind of central drug procurement people trained.

Who is responsible for ongoing training of health personnel?
laboratories, so it is very difficult to ensure that there is no influence of commercial interests.

medical Alma

not have been easy to create a foundation 26 years ago (Catalan Institute of Pharmacology), which investigates and denounces the drugs that represent a health hazard. There will be everything, but in the pharmaceutical industry is mostly money, power and influence. ".. Seems to have lost its soul care and have been trading only with your soul," Laporte says he knows what he's talking, including as chair of the WHO essential medicines (2003/04) when sent for the adoption of generic antiretroviral drugs that saved many lives in Africa. Here I offer only one-tenth as much as I was: the business of health given to speak.

After seeing the cracks in our health system would be interesting to look at a possible future very different. Are you interested ...? Then click on the following address:

THE "YES" TO RELEASE LIABILITY

"Education emerged from the Industrial Revolution IS DEAD. Not respond to the demands of human being is born in the XXI century. His brain, peer relationships, affection, how we think about life and death everything changes at the speed of lightning and educational facilities remain ossified denying the obvious change. There are two outputs: CONTINUE TO BE RESPONSIBLE indoctrination or "

Jordi De La Torre

are the words of John De La Torre, a member of "The cult of the red professor" , a partnership of students and teachers who are tired of gray education, aspiring to a teaching that boredom and nonsense give way to the red of passion for teaching and learning. For the change of color must have courage and be willing to give everything a quantum leap. The group adopts as embattled sect nickname from the perspective of provocation, a key ingredient in a comprehensive education, which also can serve as a driving force in this "leap" proposed.

A fundamental part of education is gray the teacher constantly make decisions for their students, they almost always think they know what is best for them. Thus, the classes tend to prohibit more to allow darkening the creative initiative of students: the programming victim is served. In the opposite direction to the conduct of the teacher, a teacher reveals the great possibilities of a "yes," aimed at promoting responsible freedom in their teenage students. I invite you to feel the letter kindly sent us, thanks Laura.

"I teach English in high school. I've been teaching 10 years and have worked in private institutes and public. I am part of "The Sect of Red Professor," a project that links students and teachers wanting to change and improve education today. I send my best regards. "

; Freedom

Enter and exit. We read, chat with friends, laughing, singing, sleep, dream ... we are free. But what if there is always someone looking over your shoulder and telling him YES and NO we do?

teachers in classrooms are often seen as Privador of freedom. And, in many cases, is this: Do not talk, do not look out the window, set not your phone on the table, NO escribáis pencil, do not make jokes, do not laugh lest you what you go to have fun, CAN NOT make a class in the courtyard, no, not listen to music in class, no, no, no, .... Personally, I think if student so absurd prohibition and regulation so I would not funny, especially if we consider that out of the classroom and the school they feel free and do what they want when they want, about are used. I'm not saying that is good, but that's what happens in today's society, many freedoms and few responsibilities.

Against this background, I am rooting for the YES, YES, you can have your phone on the table but not distract, it is your responsibility; YES that will one day class on the patio, why not?, YES, you can talk while you do these exercises, YES, if you make a joke we all laugh!, Yes, listen to music while you work, YES, I will do the review another day if you had a little problem ... and in this way, they are responsible for their actions, not the teacher as they think. It's about changing roles and if we want to be autonomous, we must begin to release the rope and let them be the ones who take responsibility. But ... take risks to win, you bet.

COMPETITIVENESS, DEVELOPING A BRAKE TO AUTHENTIC

In our consumer society has been "sold" to compete with each other as an engine of progress. This look reminds he considered the Earth flat, the result of a superficial view of reality. Enough to observe phenomena like the masts of the boats disappearing from the horizon later than the rest of the ship, to reveal the curvature of the earth. The presence of so-called "experts" in the mainstream financial media, calling to be more competitive to resolve the crisis has spread vision "flat" of reality, which has stripped us of many dimensions. This idea is far from new, has led to much of the business world to require its scientists and technicians called planned obsolescence : products are manufactured with durability intentionally well below it is technically possible. Here are some examples:

Livermore Centennial Bulb

Manufacturers bulbs have agreed to limit its duration. There is a clear testimony that we can make them live longer than the life of a person in a light bulb has been burning continuously since 1901, located in the Livermore Fire Station (California). The people even made a party to commemorate its 100 years.

DuPont factory had decided to patent less resistant nylon stockings, could not consent to be eternal. Many printers

has been placed chip count charge of printed pages and disable the machine when it reaches a certain number of them. When the user takes to "fix" it says it's much cheaper to buy a new one.

We could continue with many testimonies. Before this "deceit" as to many others, the network has proven to be the most effective tool to combat it. An example of this is the figure of a Russian expert who gives a small program that unlocks the chip unusable printers mentioned earlier. Generosity in the network is showing an obvious that had been obscured by the clouds of the consumer society: working always go further than competing. Can you imagine how it would work if our body cells instead of collaborating to compete with each other ...?
