#DesignEducation should do more than teach skills. It must cultivate #curiosity, #imagination, and the courage to think differently. Nietzsche warned that valuing sameness over difference corrupts young minds. Drawing on Freire, Montessori, Steiner, Tagore, and others, this essay explores how diverse, child-centred, and subversive approaches create independent thinkers. Discover how studios can become laboratories of creativity, dissent, and ethical #design. https://heretakis.medium.com/design-education-and-the-courage-to-think-differently-3154a3e17419
