Some days ago, in a seminar of Endero and their innovation management officer program I volunteered when five people were asked to step in fron t of everybody. Jim Solatie, and innovation couch totally surprised the five of the volunteers, by handing us a note of 100 euros (see the pic). The task for us was to use this note to something that encourages innovation. I spend very much time  to think about where to spend this note, and finally came to a conclusion: I spend this note to enhhance the creativity of children.

Lately, I had a discussion with my daughter’s teacher and I asked her if it was possible to make the kids to draw and write about the future (for example 2020), and with that material to make a small book about their visions about the future. Every student would get a a book for themselves. The teacher said yes to me, and promised to start the project next January. Of course this is just the first discussions and you can never know what happens with this project, but I really like the idea that the kids could watch their creation after ten years and look ath their thoughts about the future at that time.

Printing is expensive, but luckily Nord Print volunteered to sponsor the printing, so we will get every child a book of his/her own.

I will keep posting about this issue in this blog, and how it turns out.
