Empathy as the 21st century skill, bringing play back into the classroom & toys as our future teaching technology (Ilana Ben-Ari)
"We get asked how different business students are than a kindergarten class or a high-school class, or these big business leaders. We're human beings and there are so many layers to the complexity and backgrounds that we have. It really has to do with who you are as a human."
Episode #4 of Season 2 of The Social Impactors Podcast features #SocialImpactor Ilana Ben-Ari, Founder, CEO & Lead Designer at Twenty One Toys, an award-winning social enterprise that teaches empathy, failure, and other key 21st century skills using toys and playful workshops.
Ilana and I talked about how she began building 21 Toys, why she believes empathy is the most important 21st century skill that we can teach, how we need to teach the importance of empathy and failure from kindergarten all the way to Fortune 500 CEO's, and why we need to bring fun back into the classroom.
