Examples [|Moral Order In A Divided World] https://www.thersa.org/events/2017/10/moral-order-in-a-divided-world https://www.thersa.org/events/speakers/michael-ignatieff [|#RSAValues]

This event was recorded live at The RSA on Monday 30th October 2017 What fundamental values do human beings hold in common? As globalisation draws us together economically, are our values converging or diverging? Is the principle of human rights becoming a global ethic, or a vanishing preoccupation of the elite? These were some of the questions that led former leader of the Canadian Liberal Party, Michael Ignatieff, to embark on a three-year, eight-nation journey in search of answers. A renowned academic and public thinker, Ignatieff discovered that while human rights may be the language of states and liberal elites, the moral language that counts with most people are the ordinary virtues: tolerance, forgiveness, trust and resilience. These virtues are the moral operating system of global cities and favelas alike, the glue that makes the multicultural experiment work. When order breaks down and conflicts break out, the ordinary virtues do the work of repair and reconciliation.

In world-renowned educationalist ** Sir Ken Robinson’s ** now legendary 2008 talk at the RSA, he talked about the problems inherent in our current approaches to education, and the need to change from an industrial to an agricultural model. Towards the end of the talk he touched on the need to create new conditions for growth and development. In this long-awaited follow-up talk, Robinson will pick up from where he left off, and outline exactly what those conditions are. He will address the fundamental economic, cultural, social and personal purposes of education, and argue that education should be personalised to every student’s talent, passion, and learning styles, and that creativity should be embedded in the culture of every single school. Chair: ** Matthew Taylor **, RSA chief executive.

With many, many millions of views and hundreds of thousands of discussions, comments and subscribers, the RSA Animate series has spread ideas and stimulated conversation around the world.

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Liberation Sans',FreeSans,sans-serif;">These simple, originally quite 'lo-fi' videos have completely transformed the way complex information is communicated and shared. They fit into a wider body of work called ‘knowledge visualisation’ which aims to render statistics, ideas, data, and stories in a more accessible, global, memorable and interesting format. We live in an age of information overload, and we seem to nee these techniques now more than ever But is there any empirical evidence that infographics, 'thematic cartographies' and animations really work? And if so, how?

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Liberation Sans',FreeSans,sans-serif;">Renowned psychologist and author Richard Wiseman has conducted an experiment to contrast viewers’ retention of information in animated vs. non-animated videos, and visits the RSA to discuss his findings and their implications with Andrew Park, RSA Animate illustrator and founder of Cognitive Media and Matthew Taylor, chief executive of the RSA.

Management is great if you want compliance. If you want engagement, self direction is better.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> for livestreaming its informative and lively lectures. This series sets a benchmark for engaging events accessible via face-to-face interaction and remote participation. That said, I would encourage the organizers to do more with the time than leave 5 minutes for Q&A (starting at minute 54:40). Let's be creative with the programme. I know this is a conversation that could go on end for hours, so why not livestream workshops from time to time? How about scheduling hangouts for a followup discussion?

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Ken Robinson talked about flipping the classroom, what about flipping the auditorium? How do we teach one another? How do we listen to one another in the audience?
