What’s the point of school? – Hayley Peacock and Guy Claxton podcast

Our founder, Hayley Peacock’s latest insightful podcast with Atelier 21’s patron, prolific cognitive scientist, Guy Claxton, introduces the term ‘Flex-pertise’ as a much needed life skill in a fast changing modern and uncertain world of the future. Guy describes it as the skill young people will need to flex and evolve expertise in multiple disciplines in our changing modern and uncertain world of the future.
