Why You Can’t Teach Values In Schools (Or Why Smoking Is Good For You)

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.
