Earlier this week, College Development Network hosted an event for the College Creative Learning Networks to share learning and ideas from their work in promoting creative and innovative approaches to learning and teaching.

Some really interesting ideas and priorities emerged during the discussion including:

a) the need to examine more closely the links between creativity and enterprise;

b) modelling how creative approaches can be used in more traditional subject areas;

c) extending and developing partnerships and links with the wider community and

d) ensuring that governance and leadership are aware of the centrality of creativity in policy and practice.

The event also provided an opportunity for attending Creative Catalysts to hear about  Scotland’s Creative Learning Plan from Joan Parr of Creative Scotland, and about Education Scotland’s Curriculum Impact Report on Creativity Across Learning from Sheila Page, HMI.
