creativity exchange fife #CXFife12 was delivered by Fife’s Creative Learning Network (FCLN) and took place on Thursday 8 November 2012 at The Rothes Halls in Glenrothes to an audience of 120 participants.
The event focussed on creativity in learning; the impacts, the benefits and examples of creativity as a cross-curricular theme within the context of Curriculum for Excellence. Joining us as Keynote Speaker for the event was Kenneth Greer, Executive Director (Education and Learning), Fife Council, who gave an inspirational speech which highlighted the importance of embedding creativity across all curricular subjects and not just within the expressive arts. Participants were then put through 10 fast paced ‘speed dating’ style sessions by guest table presenters from across Education, Culture and Communities sectors, which allowed groups to offer inspirational approaches to creative learning while at the same time showcasing their work.
Fife’s Creative Learning Network (FCLN) is now in its second year and its membership has grown in strength to 145 members.
