B E T T E R Learning tomorrow must be more convenient, more personally relevant, and higher quality than learning today.
F R E E “ Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. ... [H]igher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit.” Article 26, Section 1 Universal Declaration of Human Rights United Nations General Assembly Resolution 217 A of 10 December 1948 Available at http://www.unhchr.ch/udhr/ Everyone has the right to learn.

Imagination  for tomorrow’s sake
“ The storyteller is deep inside everyone of us. The story-maker is always with us. Let us suppose our world is attacked by war, by the horrors that we all of us easily imagine. Let us suppose floods wash through our cities, the seas rise ... but the storyteller will be there, for it is our imaginations which shape us, keep us, create us – for good and for ill. It is our stories, the storyteller, that will recreate us, when we are torn, hurt, even destroyed. It is the storyteller, the dream-maker, the myth-maker, that is our phoenix, what we are at our best, when we are our most creative.” Doris Lessing Nobel Lecture December 7, 2007 http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/2007/lessing-lecture.html

  • 34. “ The storyteller is deep inside everyone of us. The story-maker is always with us. Let us suppose our world is attacked by war, by the horrors that we all of us easily imagine. Let us suppose floods wash through our cities, the seas rise ... but the storyteller will be there, for it is our imaginations which shape us, keep us, create us – for good and for ill. It is our stories, the storyteller, that will recreate us, when we are torn, hurt, even destroyed. It is the storyteller, the dream-maker, the myth-maker, that is our phoenix, what we are at our best, when we are our most creative.” Doris Lessing Nobel Lecture December 7, 2007 http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature/laureates/2007/lessing-lecture.html
