Invitation
To celebrate the Year of Creative Scotland, leading artists from all disciplines have been invited to deliver artistic engagement workshops with children at the Creative Scotland stall during the Scottish Learning Festival.
The Creative Scotland stall in hall 3 intends to engage, inspire and inform. The programme of activities demonstrates the many powerful and positive impacts of working creatively to deliver Curriculum for Excellence and offers an opportunity to discuss the work and partnerships with artists experienced in working in education.
The attached schedule details the times, dates and activities of the artists. Please drop in and see excellent artistic engagement in action.

Creativity at work films are now available on the Creativity Portal. So far these include eight interviews with scientists, designers, a space exploration engineer, an architect, a ballet dancer, a cameraman and a baker on how creativity is vital to their work and what that process feels like. The films demonstrate how professionals generate ideas, formulate questions, improvise, make connections and allow ideas to evolve. This is a useful cross-curricular resource, with a focus on careers and skills for life. It is perfect support for any design challenge, poster competition, or creative problem that you may be offering your learners, as well as supporting careers and pathways across all subjects.
Visit the Creativity Portal to view 13 examples of how teachers and community learning staff have used creative teaching in the classroom and community setting to deliver Curriculum for Excellence. From games design to storytelling, whole school strategy to pizza boxes these are small moments of creative inspiration that can be used to inform practitioners’ own work. They provide CPD in how to take the challenges that Curriculum for Excellence poses and run with them. The Creativity in the Classroom films are available now on the Creativity Portal.
