Purpose of Education | Claire Boonstra | TEDxErasmusUniversity

As parents, students, educators, leaders and politicians, we all take decisions when it comes to education. But based on what? On our habits and what we are familiar with, or based on a clear answer on what is (or should be) the purpose of education? Claire Boonstra builds on her own experience as engineer, employee, entrepreneur and now education reformer on how we can bring movement into the education system.

Claire Boonstra has played many different roles in life - as a TU Delft civil engineer, manager at KPN and Unilever, mobile internet expert, winter sports blogger, entrepreneur and technology pioneer with her augmented reality startup Layar.
