Please find below information about 2 Creative Conversations with Keir Bloomer. I have not intentionally missed anyone from this list so please pass on the invite to colleagues who may be interested.

Due to the popularity of the first Creative Conversation, we have decided to re-run the first Creative Conversation for colleagues who were unable to attend the first event in February. Titled ‘ This Could be the Start of Something Big’, the conversation looks at the big questions of the new curriculum, skills and creativity and will take place on Monday 18th June in the European Room, City Chambers:
4.00 – 4.30: Registration and coffee
4.30 – 5.30: Creative Conversation
5.30 – 6.30: continue the conversation with David, Keir and colleagues over a glass of wine and canapes
To book a place on this event please email me directly no later than Friday 15th June. Places are limited.

The sixth Creative Conversation of this session is also with Keir Bloomer and the title is ‘All Tomorrow’s Parties’. This event will consider the key messages from the previous 5 Creative Conversation and ask the question ‘where do we go from here?’ The date is Tuesday 19th June, the format is as above and the venue (city centre) will be confirmed when your place is confirmed.
To book a place on this event please email me directly no later than Monday 18th June. Places are limited.

Finally, tomorrow I will send information and an invitation to an extra breakfast Creative Conversation with Eric Booth, internationally acclaimed leading figure in creativity and creative education. Eric, from America, is in Scotland from for one week only and we are fortunate in having him with us for the morning of the 21st June. You can read his article on creative learning in the May/June issue of Teaching Scotland.

I look forward to seeing you at 1, 2 or all 3 of these events.
