Susan Coles – Why Do We Do What We Do?
About the Session
Sometimes we get to a point in our life when we sit and think ‘how did I get here and what am I doing?’. During this pandemic we have had even more opportunities to reflect and think about ourselves and our relationships to everything and everyone in our lives. I personally, have never seen education as a job, I have only seen and felt it as a lifetime’s vocation. What about you?
So in my presentation ‘I will ask you why is it that you do what you do?’ and explore with you why we must continue to champion creativity and creative subjects, and a way of life that is at the centre of being human.
