The Year of Learning Dangerously

The spirit of discovery is precisely what inspired an experiment in learning at the Portland, Oregon, headquarters of advertising maverick Wieden+Kennedy. In April, W+K launched a pioneering advertising school called "12." Instead of a formal curriculum or full-fledged faculty, 12 offers 12 students 13 months of real work for very real clients.

This kind of apprentice-style education is set to rise. It provides a place where energies can be focussed into experimenting and learning -- the essential ingredients that foster innovating thinking.
