Lynn’s Thought For the Week 14/11/11

Lynn’s Thought for the Week
There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all. Without creativity, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns.

St Nicholas’ Primary Food for Thought Cafe

They talked about their award winning approach to Social Enterprise that has been running in the school over the past year in order to give North Lanarkshire staff a flavour of how to organise and develop a Social Enterprise approach.
