MAIL Online article: PAUL McKENNA reveals.. How you can be just as creative as Walt Disney
- Walt Disney- Mickey Mouse
“The only real limit on your creativity is your willingness to recognise it and put it to work for you.
That doesn’t mean you will suddenly be able to write songs or to paint masterpieces. It just means that you can tap into the creative force whenever and wherever you want, to solve problems and create new possibilities in your life and work.”
“Walt Disney was one of the most creative and innovative geniuses of the 20th century.
The power of Disney’s creativity strategy is that it makes full and separate use of the three stages of any creative process: daydreaming about possibility; taking action; and a healthy critique of the process, interrogating it to ensure what’s being created is worth creating.”

Education Scotland:Creativity
Fife’s creative resource inspiring all Scotland!
Marks on the Landscape is a resource available through Education Scotland to inspire creativity across the curriculum. It integrates creative skills with experiences and outcomes across a range of curriculum areas to support interdisciplinary learning.
The context for learning and teaching for this resource is Fife Earth, an ambitious land regeneration project.
- Fife Earth
“Fife Earth is a surface coal mine, three miles squared, being reclaimed as a huge project, but this is much more. Fife Earth is reclaiming and transforming this huge site into a celebration of art, creativity and of Scotland, its history, its achievements and its place in the world. It is art created by bulldozers. It is a vision driven by ambition, conceived by one man and being realised by many. ”
From the essay ‘How big are your dreams?’ by David Cameron, Education Consultant
