Creative Schools: A Blaze of Colour Conference - Registrations Now Open

There is common recognition that nurturing students creativity in their schooling matters - especially within the complex world we find ourselves in. But what does a creative education look like? How do you teach for creativity? And, what role do the arts play within this?

The Centre for Arts and Social Transformation, The University of Auckland (responsible for Te Rito Toi and the Creative Schools Index) warmly invites you to this special conference day for Year 1-8 teachers and senior leaders.  We will explore these questions in hands-on sessions led by a range of thinkers, makers and doers including amongst others…

• Renowned drama pedagogue Peter O’Connor sharing his internationally recognised learning experience, A Teaspoon of Light
• Poet Laureate Selina Tusitala Marsh exploring creative ways to write creatively at primary levels
• Head coach Jane Keely from the Sir John Kirwan Foundation taking a Mitey aligned Te Rito Toi lesson  - ‘A Little Kindness Goes a Long Way’

We are only taking a maximum of 60 participants, so book fast to avoid missing out!
