Imagination Unleashed

One of the problems with current world leadership is it limits its thinking to just a few of the eight basic human intelligences – often dryly intellectual. Adult institutions, particularly government bureaucracies, typically don’t use play, drawings, skits, or music to stimulate imagination, reflection, and discovery.  Stories, drawings, and skits are more than just fun—they’re how children make sense of the world and lead others. One aspect of the objective to bring children into roles that involve mutual leadership is to bring in more creativity to governance, so much needed as we try to navigate current political tensions, impending climate disaster, threats from AI, etc. 

Children’s parliaments often include play or music or drawing. For example, the development of the World Children’s Parliament Declaration on Future Generations, involved thousands of children making drawings and doing skits as part of the process of developing  opinions about values they will use as they take over the future world.
