Episode 147. Joining us from Montreux, Switzerland is Christoph Ott. He's headmaster of the new Eastwood International School in Montreux with a radically different take on how children should be educated. The school system we all grew up in is not fit for the modern age, and arguably hasn't been for many years. Why do our schools stifle creativity? Is it time for a revolution in education? In a world where traditional education often prioritizes compliance over creativity, there's a growing need to rethink how we teach our kids. His approach? A flipped classroom model paired with project-based learning that empowers students to follow their passions. A school where learning is driven by curiosity, not rote memorization. Where students dive into projects that excite them, from technology to racecar driving. Sounds like a great idea to me. Enjoy...
