Imitation And Imagination: Child’s Play Is Central To Human Success

Learning and play is one of our central themes and covers such a broad range of exciting ideas. However, this piece from The Conversation places it as fundamental to all human development, not merely a child’s learning. Behaviour can be copied and learned, but that’s just imitation.

Dancing Chimpanzees May Reveal How Humans Started To Boogie

Fancy a dance? It seems you’re not the only one. Humans are always looking to place themselves in the past, present and future; to understand where we come from.

International Day of Women And Girls In Science 2020

As the UN says, “women and girls represent half of the world’s population and, therefore, also half of its potential.” We believe it’s vital to be part of the movement that recognises this and seeks to help everyone reach their potential by promoting gender equality – particularly in education.
