Creativity is one of the themes at this year's WISE summit in Doha, Qatar. But just how can we unlock students' and teachers' creativity? How can we teach creativity? And why it is so important to do so? Why does an education system focused on results and competitiveness no longer serve to equip future generations adequately?

We talk to Paul Collard, who runs an organisation called "Creativity, Culture and Education". Among other things, the programme trains creative professionals like artists and filmmakers to go into school to work with teachers to reinvent learning in their classrooms.

But inspiring creativity in education is not limited to training teachers - at the WISE summit, attendees can tap into their own creativity by receiving computer coding training and participating in “do it yourself” sessions.
