Curiosity, Creativity & Imagination - A guide for teachers in the age of AI
In the age of AI, where machines can already memorise faster, calculate better, and replicate tasks with terrifying precision, our role as teachers has to shift from information providers to curiosity igniters. We are no longer preparing children to compete with computers, but to be more human than ever — to think critically, to imagine wildly, and to create meaningfully. If we fail to nurture these qualities in our students, we risk raising brilliant copy machines instead of original thinkers. Creativity isn’t a bonus skill anymore — it’s a survival trait.

An open letter from Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock to the next generation of artists
Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock have been friends for over forty years. In the pursuit of their art, they’ve shattered boundaries previously believed unbreakable, they’ve revolutionized the concept of innovation, and have chosen to make the endeavor of living compassionately and courageously the center of their lives.
From their early days composing and playing together with Miles Davis in Davis’ Second Great Quintet, to branching out and flourishing in their individual endeavors, Wayne and Herbie’s contributions to the
