Following a year of questioning, challenging and exploring in year one, we felt more equipped with the understanding of why creative skills are needed and what creative skills are required to become better prepared for a changing workforce for our Cornish students. During year two, our focus was on building and testing, developing leaders and teachers who are promoting and implementing change for the teaching of creativity.
Our ambition for year three was to embed and grow, extending the scope of our project, ensuring long-term systemic change and impact across the Penryn partnership and beyond. Across the partnership, a learning community of leaders and teachers cascaded the practice from their work to extend the impact of teaching for creativity.
A big part of the final year was launching our toolkit for developing creativity across the curriculum and hosting our first Better Prepared for a Creative Future Symposium which took place on Tuesday 26 March 2024.
The symposium focused on the importance of teaching for creativity and allowed attendees to explore why creative skills are needed in a modern Cornish workforce.
It also saw the official launch of the Penryn Partnership Creativity Collaborative Toolkit which includes a range of resources designed to support and inspire educators in developing teaching for creativity in the classroom.
