A Few Awesome RSA Animate Videos

The RSA is the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce, a charity organization founded in the 1800's, and located in the UK:

"At the heart of the RSA's contemporary mission and public debates about the future prospects for the human race is the question: 'Can we go on like this?' Will the ideas and values which transformed our world in the last two centuries be sufficient to find solutions to the challenges we now face or do we need new ways of thinking?"


One of the ways the RSA shares information is through events that feature renown speakers. Some of the presentations are transformed into animations, known as RSA Animates, and are some of the most popular videos uploaded by RSA to YouTube, spreading the word to hundreds of thousands across the globe.  

Here are a few:
RSA Animate: The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty, Dan Ariely 


RSA Animate: The Power of Networks, Manuel Lima
Manuel Lima is the senior UX design lead at Microsoft Bing. For more information, see The Power of Networks: Knowledge in an age of infinite interconnections. and the presentation slides.

"Animate" Graphic Presentation: Sir Ken Robinson's RSA talk, Changing Education Paradigms -great presentation AND content

The following video is an "Animate" of a talk by creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson at the RSA (Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce).  How do we educate our children to take their place in the economies of the 21st century, given that we can't anticipate what the economy will look like at the end of next week?

 FYI: An Animate is a video in which a talented illustrator draws images related to the content of a speaker's presentation. (It is a great way to engage visual thinkers, in my opinion.)

The video explains it all.
