Transformation



Transformation is a biiig idea for us! Look at the word "big". We've changed the i-s - you have to change your eyes to be transformed. To become transformed we need to learn to see things with new eyes - to re-vision - and with a new mind - to re-think! We need to be fresh! In English we have a word rejuvenate that means to get new energy and new strength - "re" means "again" or "anew" and juvenate means "child". Let's rejuvenate ourselves.

We ourselves have the power to transform - the spaces around us, the objects and how they are used, people and how we see and relate to them. This is a power that we can develop through our playful design spirit.

How do you feel about this idea of tranformation? Can you understand why we value it? We want you to see that each of us have the power to change the way we experience our learning and our living through transformation. Each of us - kid, teacher, parent, office worker - can become the playful designer of our life.

We can hang a mobile in front of our desk, move our chair and table so we have a new view, we can reorganise the formation of our students' desks, or rearrange the furniture in our office to give us a new outlook. We can try to understand how people think, feel and see, and in this way transform our relationship with them.
