CREATIVE LEARNING NETWORK

At New Walk Museum and Art Gallery this evening, for a meeting sponsored by the Creative Learning Network. This is an event for artists, teachers, youth workers, extended schools co-ordinators, Creative Agents, Early Years Providers, Creative Practitioners, cultural organisations and all who are interested in developing creative work with children and young people in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. The Creative Learning Network event is an opportunity to:

• network across sectors working with children and young people;
• share experiences with other professionals;
• learn about and inform the professional development opportunities in your sector;
• meet people you might want to work with in the future.

The main premise behind these events is to bring people together who are interested in developing the creativity of young people (whether they are teachers, artists etc) for a fun productive event. I meet some very interesting and imaginative people and am able to speak to them from the perspectives of the Council of Faiths, the Regional Equality and Diversity Partnership (REDP) and from that of my own position as a Creative Practitioner, teaching Creative Writing.
