The power of creativity and play in education

An early evening provocation from Prof. Alison James, Prof. Bill Lucas and Prof. Paul Sowden designed to invite questions and new connections

An opportunity to explore the value of play and creativity in all aspects of education with three leading academics as part of the University of Winchester’s Play and Creativity Festival.

 

Activities will include:

 

What is creativity? How we are all creative. An appreciative inquiry activity exploring the many dimensions of creativity.

Why play matters when you go to university. A provocation.

A walk through the creative process. Take a short walk with us and find out how engagement with our environment can stimulate different aspects of the creative process.

A slow meet (an antidote to speed dating) A chance to connect and reflect.
