Through a Different Lens: Lessons from a Life in Education

Auteur

Ger Graus is a globally recognised figure in the field of education, once described as "Jean-Jacques Rousseau meets Willy Wonka". Driven by his famous mantra that "Children can only aspire to what they know exists" he champions the causes of equity and social mobility, purpose and experience, creativity and innovation, and awe and wonder in children's learning, so that each child becomes empowered to write their own narrative of the possible.
