I cannot avoid but thinking he was already aware of his state of health when he registered this video. How generous and inspiring to do something for other people even if you're sad for yourself and your family. He will be missed by everyone. Thank you, great spirit.

The world has lost a great mind and an incredible human. I am so sad to hear of your passing. You have left a wonderful legacy.

RIP, Sir Ken Robinson. You've done a tremendous job making the world's education better.

Even in his last moments, he tried to to do something beneficial for human being. Rest in peace forever.

Bright, insightful, sensitive, humane, genuine... you taught so many of us so many things, may your soul rest in peace.

We've lost a wonderful intellectual academic with a scouser's wit and the gift of comedic timing. Sincere sympathies to his family: R.I.P. Sir Ken, missing you already!

Such a wonderful bloke. Speaks more common sense in sixteen minutes that the worlds politicians in a decade.

I came across Sir Ken Robinson,s TED talk while pursuing my Masters program in Newcastle. I was so motivated by his talk and his vision that it changed my direction of work from corporate to Education. His conversation made me realize the difference between education and learning and the creative capacity of Humanity and children. Sir Ken Robinson was a great man and his vision and his thoughts would have inspired many over the world. I keep seeing his videos over and over as a constant reminder of the mission he has left us ( Educators and parents alike) and the responsibility we have towards the generations ahead. Rest in Peace Sir Ken Robinson. You will be greatly missed but your thoughts and vision lives on within all those whose hearts and minds you have touched.

I am so moved and sad by his passing. He has been a lighthouse, has influenced many people towards the validation of all kinds of intelligence, an appreciation of the whole array of human talent and potential. My deepest gratitude for your contributions to Humanity! May your soul rest in peace!

Such a sad day for me. You will be greatly missed my Hero and Mentor. You rest now without any pain.

I'm so sad that we've lost him. What a wonderful, intelligent, insightful human. He speaks into my very soul. We must bring his vision into being. Let's GO!! 🌿 SOCIAL CHANGE FROM THE GROUND UP. LITERALLY.

Thank you Universe for this wonderful soul. I carry him with me always. And his delightful jokes.

I am truly heart broken. Sir Ken Robinson was a gift to humanity. We all must do everything he dreamed of. We must make sure that we keep,his dreams alive and we continue to challenge the education system to make the right choices for our kids. We need more arts, culture and diversity! I am forever grateful for Ken Robinson. Blessings to his loved ones

The world has lost an inspiring and great human being. Thank you for everyting, Ken.

Sir Kenneth Robinson, thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. The world will not be as good without you.

Absolutely love love LOVE your work and genius!! I have been 'unschooling' my children for over five years, they are five and seven. We live in Queensland, Australia and have been doing so many amazing things, predominantly in nature, as my older boy wants to be a vet. We have bred animals, grown amazing things in the garden from seeds, we have delved into maths by undertaking various projects around the house, shops, cooking... the opportunities are endless!!!! I have a BA Honours from University of London and an MBA and I can honestly say that I have never learned so much as I do with them. They go off on a tangent (they are only five and seven) and learn so much about a particular project in such record speed, it is absolutely incredible!!!! Thank you for everything you do. Loved the speech!

Ken Robinson - I love you - You are beautiful, inspiring human being :)

You will be greatly missed. Thank you for leading with such vision and honesty.

RIP you wonderful man. You have really touched my life and I thank you.

I was first introduced to Sir Kenneth Robinson almost 20 years ago when I saw a TED lecture by him, entitled "Does Education Kill Creativity". Being a teacher with five children of my own, l was riveted. With his insights and dry English wit, he was very enlightening and sensible. We home schooled all our children. They went on to universities, applied arts and technical colleges, each following their own path to become very unique adults, enjoying success in their own style. Thank you Sir Kenneth.

Sir Ken Robinson shows us the kind of life that one should live! I've always enjoyed his TEDx talks. They are funny and inspiring. He was very intellectual and articulate with his words. Sad he passed so soon, even though at 70 years old. He passed away in August 2020, 3 months after this video was posted. It's amazing to see that he still had the force within him to deliver this world-wide talk.

“Organic education” has been practiced in Finland with great success for many years. All schools in Finland are state schools, which offer exemplary teaching practice. There are no private schools, so rich and less well off children play alongside each other. Finnish schools focus on the wellbeing of the student. The school days are shorter (family time is very important) plus they spend much of the school day outside exploring the world around them rather than being stuck in a classroom. There’s no standardised testing or homework.... And yet Finnish educational ‘output’ is ranked in the top 5 whereas the U.K. is at 26!! The u.k government MUST be aware of this, and if they are the question is why have they not adopted the Finnish system? 🤔 A paradigm shift in Education is very much needed in the U.K. 🙏🏻

A loss impossible to quantify. I am undone.

He is so brave, so aware, so inspiring....and delightfully funny. I will miss him. This talk covers all our problems, and possible solutions in only a few minutes. Who can do that!!? Heaven is blessed!

This is a wonderful distillation of your ideas found in your title Creative Schools, a book I recommend everyone interested to read. As a homeschooling parent, I wholly agree it’s not only the time to hit the pause button, but also the reset button. The silver lining of the pandemic is for parents and educators -and especially out learners to seize upon new ways and sources for learning.

Wow! Revolutionaries do not need to man the barricades and throw molotov cocktails. Sir Ken leading a revolution and we are grateful for that. Thank you. It is a Friday night in lock-down, and as the fire burns in the grate and dinner bubbles on the stove, I watched this video and am indeed inspired. Once again, thank you.

Thanks for everything, sir Ken. You are going to live in my heart forever!

Thank you so much for every word you spoke, every sentence you wrote. It was the honour of my lifetime to meet you, and you will continue to inspire me as long as I live... Love. Light. Peace. Creativity.

This strikes me as Ken's closing remarks, expounding on all the topics he championed all his life. I had the honor, decades ago, of picking Ken up at the airport when he arrived in America, to escort him to an arts education conference. So enthralled by his presence, I chattered away, failing to notice that the AC was blasting the passenger side of the car. Ken had icicles dripping from his nose but never said a word! My favorite line in his arts educations talks was that it seemed people believed their bodies were simply created to carry their heads around. A great privilege to play that tiny part in his life.

I miss him already.. You are the light we need in this world. Your words will always be the gentle force of energy to stimulate us at any point in time of Crisis. Thank you for spreading joy, sparkle and love when all was dark. Thank you for being our lit candle in the dark!

Thank you Sir for changing the world by making us believe in our creativity again.

I didn't know until watching this video that he has passed. I'm shocked and in tears. RIP a great inspiring man.

Thank you Sir Ken Robinson! I love your work!

You'll be greatly missed, but your ideas will keep throw a light on the path to a better education. Thanks for everything!

An honorable man with the courage and conviction which we may never see again God Bless

Thank you Sir Ken Robinson for your brilliant mind and your invaluable contribution to this world! ❤️

It's a historic moment, and an extraordinary opportunity. I hope that people will start to listen and act on your ideas. I've been a fan since I first saw "Do schools kill creativity", affecting me deeply to profoundly change my work and lifestyle. I'm looking forward to translate this into Bulgaria, like I did with your TED talks. Stay safe and healthy, Sir Ken :)

Thank you, Sir! I hope one day I'll have an opportunity to say this in person. You are inspiring millions of people all around the globe. Your vision is very natural, very clear, and very important. The way you talk about education gives our brains a lot of answers and helps to understand fundamental things about our lives. And not just that, you have inspired others to become "those who move" and started an important kind of work. So please keep going, and THANK YOU very much!

Thank you Ken! You where one of the first voices that made me choose to change my path from a passive passenger consumer 10 years ago to become the active crewmember of Spaceship Earth I am today. 🚀🌍❤️

DEEP THANKS, DEEP GRATITUDE TO YOU, SIR KEN ROBINSON. LEARNING, FOR REAL, HAS AN OPEN HEART AND INSPIRES ONE TO CULTIVATE WHAT IS INSIDE. WE ALL HAVE OUR TALENTS, OUR INNER TALENTS. BRAVI TO ALL, WHO GO INSIDE AND THEN HAVE SOMETHING REAL TO CONTRIBUTE TO COMMUNITY. NAMASTE BOWS TO YOU FOR YOUR WORK. YOUR LIFE'S EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND THIS EXPRESSION OF IT. IT IS ALL ABOUT SHARING OUR UNIQUE TALENTS: ALL AGES, ALL CULTURES.

The world has lost a BEAUTIFUL BRILLIANT MAN, Rest In Peace. Thank you for your service and kindness

An important and brilliantly explained message that I have shared with my extended family,

"People flourish when the culture is right." Sir Ken Robinson was able to imagine and articulate that which I've only been able to wish. His influence on education (and climate change) is remarkable. May his memory be honored.

RIP Sir Ken Robinson and thank you. The world needs more people like you, who can see the world with fresh eyes and have the courage to challenge the status quo. Your legacy will always be with us. My deepest sympathy to your family and loved ones.

Thanks for all you gave. I love you. RIP. Condolences to your friends and family. X

I have been thinking of you, sir Ken Robinson, since the beginning of this, and the inception of the disruption of our unfunctional education system. Thank you for your words!

This man changed my life with his books. Sad to hear he passed away

This is probably one of the most important messages to humanity right now. Reset after pause. I will be sharing it with my kids' teachers. Thank you ever so much for the work you do and inspiration you provide to millions around the globe!

I showed on of Ken's talks to one of my students yesterday, only to find out after class that he had passed away in August. Such a huge loss to not just education but to the world generally. A wonderful communicator who had a talent for transmitting complex ideas in an accessible and entertaining manner. God speed.

The world faces such a profound loss of his physical presence...but I I hope we carry him in our hearts and lives through his work and teachings and we keep.forwarding his impact to help unlearn and relearn

Best to you and your family, your words are shared now with my son and his family; they are the future. I am inspired by your insights and willingness to voice the greatest truth, we are the future. Thank you, bless you and yours, may well being and contentment be yours. peace

So very sad to hear about Ken's passing, he is irreplaceable and his loved ones must have an aching gap to heal. I like to hope his wisdom sits on many shoulders, now, what a beautiful world we can create and what a shining legacy.

I’ve frequently thought about Ken Robinson during lockdown and wondered what his views were. I was delighted to see him back in my feed 15 mins ago. But then I saw the black & white photo at the top of his KZfaq channel. I had not heard the news of his death and feel as devastated as I’d have been had I known him personally, which I didn’t. I’m so bereft that I’ll never again hear his wonderful ruminations on life and education. He really is my hero. I hope his family can read how much of mark he has made on me in the way I bring up my children.

Hello from Shanghai! Thank you so much for sharing! I studied international relations as a graduate student before, and am now on my way to be a K-12 teacher. I am always thinking of the best way to bring peace and prosperity to our human community, and that's actually the motivation behind my previous choice of studying international relations. Now I have found a more essential way to contribute, which is to flourish the next generation day by day. I truly agree with your ideas, so count me in the movement!

Everyone should see this!!

Simply superb. May you rest in eternal power Sir Ken Robinson...

How right you are, so sad that the ppl that can actually be a big movement for fixing these issues you speak of most will sit back and do nothing. You are wise!!!

A beautiful soul, and someone who made you want to listen and learn. RIP Sir Ken Robinson.

Thank you. I am (we all are) grateful you gave your life-breath to speaking to us, so many times, about what matters most in life. In memory of you, may we all dedicate all we are to living with meaning and deep regard for life on Earth, indeed the whole universe.

Bless you. You gave us so very much. Can't believe that you have now left this world. No more talks, no more books. You will be greatly missed, Sir Ken. 💔

I'm deeply saddened we have lost such a brilliant visionary ... I'm grateful for his last message which he left for humanity to follow ... my thoughts go out to his family who must be crushed at the loss of his beautiful spirit...

A wonderful man. A beautiful soul. Thank you for all your worldly wisdom, passion and inspiration. RIP Sir Ken Robinson.

sorry for your passing Sir. Thank you for being a light in your time on this planet.

Jacob Bronowski, Jonathon Miller, Ken Robinson.....thanks for helping feed my Awe.

Sir Ken Robinson. Amazingly inspirational as always, You were born to inspire and amaze people and such an absolutely brilliant example of the perfect form of a person who is just brilliant! What a world we would all have if everyone was one percent of your inspiration. You will not be missed.... you will be a huge deficit to the future of our humanity.... then be missed terribly, Ken you were an amazing human being and a loss to Humanity.

RIP dear Sir. Immense thanks for your vision and contribution. It is priceless!

Your thoughts are a fountain of inspiration! Thank you so much!

So saddened to read of his death- a light has gone out in our world - Rest In Peace. Deepest condolences to his family and friends.

We have lost an incredibly important human being - the only TED talk to reduce me to tears of laughter and sadness in 15 mins. It’s up to us to keep speaking his truth about creativity and championing the diversity of ALL kids talents. Thank you Sir Ken RIP.

Great contrast between planet, education and our responsibility for the future

I was so so sad to hear this news - Ken is a hero to me....always has been

Great responsible humanist, unusual personality... Although I knew him only from TED and youtube, I miss him so much already. Following his legacy, being a concerned polish citizen I wish the approach to education in Poland change and will be heading in the direction Sir Robinson advocated for.

Rest in Power, Sir Ken. And thank you.

Thank you, Sir Ken. Your words are meaningful and relevant to our plight. Rest in peace.

I wholly agree with this. And feel inspired. Thankyou..(I'm sorry to just read, this good guy had left us....a few days ago... My thoughts are with his family, but also, for all the good work he still could have done. A loss. 😔)

Great man with a great mind and vision!

I’d like to think he would have been pleased that I have been on a form of digital detox so that I just learned of this news quite accidentally via KZfaq. Lame stream media had nothing online in the passing of this brilliant educator in a great line of the same sane ones. And it was just within the last 5 years I came across his Ted Talks. He knows he has served humanity well and we are now paying it forward.

He was and still is inspirational- May God keep you in the warmth and safety of His Love Sir Ken.

Dear Ken, thank you very much for this and I have joined Go Boundless. It is my greatest wish for you to look at Waldorf Steiner Education since we need somebody like you to be a voice. Sincerely hope you will read this!

What a wonderful message from such a great soul at such a critical time. What a closure to such a wonderful life. Blessings and Godspeed on your next journey, Sir Ken Robinson. ¡Aho! ftom the Andes.

So wonderful Thank you for your incredible commitment to creativity.Its time for a new book and audiobook!!!!

Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us, Sir! I highly appreciate it.

thanks for this! a very intelligent and wise message.

I am blown away that I am here the content about soil from you, Ken. It's brilliant! I've a bit of work to do and perhaps will comment further later. I wrote an article in 2013 for a magazine in Jakarta. You, Sir Ken, were my main inspiration!

He was an inspiration to so many. RIP.

What a truly inspirational man, who provided immense positivity to all those who truly listened. R. I. P. Huge love and respect.

I miss this man greatly ....rest in peace🙏

This is absolutely wonderful!

Amazing, moving, motivational and inspirational. he was an amazing person.

A wonderful educator. The message is strong and has huge social and environmental value that needs to be heard until we get it right. Bless you Sir Ken and your family. A sad loss to humankind.

Thank you Ken - so inspiring as always! stay well .

Bang on as usual Sir Ken ;-) thanks for being awesome!

Always wanted to meet you fellow Evertonian. Watch your videos often and will be forever inspired by them 🤗💙

RIP Sir, I learnt so much from you... positive prayers from Tunisia

Thank you Sir for being born in our lifetime. RIP 🙏

Yes he will be greatly missed. My best to his family. We will all carry his lessons with us into the future, with hope and commitment. Be well.

Even in his last stage, he kept his humor and humanity intact. A truly remarkable person and a sage. Your teachings will be your legacy. RIP.

My heart sinks in grief. What a beautiful last word. I hope we can get our act together and transform our education system!

So sad watching this. What a lovely man, and so funny but he was from Liverpool. R.I.P Sir Ken.

Rest In Peace, Sir Ken Robinson🙏 Thank you for the wisdom and joy you bequeathed to us all.
