The Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) has recently published an interesting post on their Blog about their innovative "Opening Minds"-program.

"Opening Minds" is a program currently implemented in over 200 high schools all over Britain. It aims at encouraging a more holistic, integrated approach to learning in order to promote innovative thinking. The goal is to move from "fact-based" learning to a competence-based learning approach. This by the way seems very much in line with the excellent talk recently highlighted under announcements by Sir Ken Robinson "Changing Education Paradigms", which I would again like to recommend to you.
