Matthew Taylor on The Power to Create

Matthew Taylor is the director of the RSA, The Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce; find out more at his blog. This is an animation of a longer talk which you can listen to here if you are curious: Matthew Taylor introduces the Power to Create.

Schools, employers, and governments need to think about ways to remove barriers to that creativity and to increase people's access to the resources they need to achieve their creative vision. In the past, creativity was associated with a kind of elitism, but Matthew Taylor urges us to set that aside and see how everyone has creative power. Find out more at the video:
