About
Imagine if… is inspired by Sir Ken’s observation that what separates us from other life on earth is our power of imagination – the ability to bring things to mind that don’t exist. It is imagination that allows us to create the world in which we live, rather than just exist in it. It also gives us the power to recreate it. Imagine if… will be an annual celebration of human potential, inspired by Sir Ken, taking place during the first week of March. In 2021 the event will be held from March 1st to 4th. On the 4th, we will have a live-stream tribute event and will launch the wider Imagine if… campaign, inviting people from all around the world to reimagine the parts of life we take for granted and that no longer serve us.
"We’ve pressed pause on many of our social systems, it’s time to press reset on them as well.”
- Sir Ken Robinson, 2020
...we recognised that intelligence is multifaceted
...every organisation had a youth advisory board.
...we valued dance as much as maths.
Respond to the Provocation
Your Imagine if… response can take any form that you wish.
For example, it could be a video message, a painting or drawing, a spoken word piece or a dance performance. We leave the medium up to you.
We will feature some video submissions during the live-stream event on March 4th 2021. Our website will be able to house contributions in other mediums, including (but not limited to) articles, drawings and poems.
