DISRUPTING EDUCATION WITH TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGES

In this TEDx talk, Andrew discusses the opportunity for innovation that lies at the intersection and implementation of diverse knowledge systems. He outlines examples from his experience in working with at-risk youth in community and research. Andrew also emphasises how in certain sectors (such as youth justice, education, and community development), innovation is needed because current approaches are largely ineffective. A though-provoking talk that challenges us to discover new ways of doing by unpacking diverse ways of thinking.
