June 14 – 16
How do you build a world where creativity has no boundaries – a place where the imagination is harnessed to its full potential? Join the Creative learning team at the Arts Council of Wales for a three-day digital event which will explore the power of creativity in education.
The 3 day online event will bring together a range of national and international influencers who will share their knowledge and insights around creativity. These will be complemented by a series of interactive sessions for teachers and creative professionals. There will also be an opportunity to hear from schools who have participated in the Lead Creative Schools Scheme – the ground-breaking scheme that has supported teachers in exploring innovative approaches to teaching and supported learners to grow as independent, creative individuals. Designed with Curriculum for Wales on the horizon, this event offers inspiration and real-world suggestions for those new to creative learning as well as those looking to deepen their understanding.
The website will be constantly updated with more free sessions for you to join.
