KATE ROBINSON
Creativity, Unschooling, and Life With Sir Ken Robinson
Kate talks about her own unschooling experience as a young person, and how she is carrying on her father’s work in the world.
Kate Robinson is Director of the Sir Ken Robinson Foundation and co-author of Out of Our Minds: The Power of Being Creative (Wiley 2026) and Imagine If… Creating a Future for Us All (Penguin, 2022), which serves as the manifesto of her father, Sir Ken Robinson. She also served as Creativity and Imagination Expert on Apple TV+’s children’s series Not a Box(2025). She is a patron of Action for Children’s Arts and the Forest of Imagination, and a Trustee of Sir Ken Robinson’s intellectual property, held by his Estate. An author, speaker, and podcast host, Kate works at the intersection of creativity, education, and cultural change. In the face of an increasingly uncertain future, she argues that imagination and creativity are not optional extras but essential human capacities. Through her writing and public work, she challenges individuals, institutions, and communities to rethink inherited systems and consider how new ones might be shaped.
