Grassroots Innovations for Inclusive Education - Anil K. Gupta - WISE 2013 Focus

When addressing social challenges, inertia often prevails over responsiveness and agility. What can we do to change this and teach our children to be innovative? How can we learn from the creativity of the informal sector, including farmers, artisans, and others who lack material resources? Such innovators often leverage the resources in which they are rich, namely knowledge, imagination and values. Frugality is an inevitable choice for a sustainable future, no matter what we may say about climate change forecasts, or the widening gulf of disparities in the world. Flexibility is also essential for coping with ever-increasing uncertainties. The purpose of educational reforms in the future is not just to forge a more informed and responsible mind and spirit, but also to foster a creative, compassionate and collaborative culture. In this Focus session, Professor Anil K. Gupta advocated a circular economy as one way to let nature express its diversity and self-maintaining potential through human endeavors for inclusive development.
