What is a Creative Education and why is it important ?

Paul Collard,
Chief Executive,
Creativity Culture & Education,
UK

Presentation at the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture

14:00 - 15:30, Thursday 10th January

If our economy is to grow sustainably, we need to develop innovation and a creative workforce. So what will this mean for our education systems? What does this mean for artists, designers and creatives?
Paul's lecture will draw on his experience of observing, designing and delivering programmes in creative education, not only in England but elsewhere in Europe and the Asia Pacific region.

He will draw on the extensive research commissioned by CCE which has measured the impact of such approaches on attainment, motivation, behaviour and parental engagement. The presentation will be extensively illustrated with examples of projects delivered by CCE in different countries, that are designed to help delegates develop their own practice with children, young people and students.

Paul is visiting Karachi to help establish an arts education programme that will take place across 2013 in schools in Karachi, in collaboration with Vasl Artists' Collective and the British Council. His presentation will be of particular interest to artists, educationalists, teachers and headteachers in secondary and higher education, along with those interested in development and economy.
