I'm on a Tour

I decided to hit the road and go on a tour around high-schools in western Slovenia to promote UMMI summer camps and in doing so speak about issues with creativity and giftedness. My main points are:
- giftedness is a property of mind which has to be carefully nurtured, otherwise skills will diminish to average at best,
- creativity is not a property of mind, it is a way of thinking. It is seeing each thing afresh and approaching problems with playfulness, courage and bravery,
- creative and gifted people are often misunderstood, hence they feel alone,
- but they are not!

I am recording every lecture and I shall publish the best version ASAP. After each lecture I try to encourage debate about this issues to get some feedback. It is a great experience and there is still 5 places to go!
