Slow Symposium 2021

Creative Schools + Colleges | 2021 a Slow Symposium

A series of workshops, discussions, provocations, and ideas sharing

spread out over 2 weeks this autumn

some online and some in-person

Monday to Thursday 8-18 November

Creative Schools + Creative Colleges has been addressing real-world problems and championing creativity within east London schools since 2015. In our last year with our current host Stratford Circus, the Symposium invites participation from schools, colleges and cultural organisations over two weeks of online and in-person practical sessions, discussion, debate, and networking.

This slow conference will aim to offer opportunities for teachers and cultural partners to explore relevance , creativity and equity in education in order to address current and future challenges.

It will give food for thought and practical skills, tools and ideas to take back into classrooms.
