This presentation was
presented by David Seedhouse at the First NZ and AUS International IWB
Conference in 2009.
Description: David
Seedhouse is a philosopher and writer, turned social entrepreneur. David
will explain why values are more important than evidence; how Startrek's
Mr Spock consistently made a devastating logical mistake; why smoking is
good for your health; and why values cannot be taught directly in
schools. He will also introduce the Values Exchange, a unique web-based
tool which helps display the richness and depth of human values to
everyone who uses it. The Values Exchange enables school students as
young as ten to reflect in-depth about any and all social issues, via
colourful interactive screens. The process is a powerful educational
(and often emotional) experience in which respondents learn as much
about their own values as they do about the values of other people. |
