For the future of our planet, and our communities, it is vital for our children's education to change.
This powerful TED talk by headteacher Richard Dunne, explores how incorporating lessons from nature into education, can move us towards a more sustainable future.
The patterns and systems of nature (biomimicry) can be applied to all aspects of children's education, helping them become leaders.
As Richard says, "we are nature" and the main focus of his talk is the importance of learning and mimicking nature's harmony.
