The Rainbow Collective Early Years Arts Symposium took place on December 4th 2013 at The Greenman, Bromley Road.
The event consisted of
creative activities, networking, a keynote on creativity and
early years and a chance for participants to develop ideas for creative projects. The keynote speaker was Linda Pound, early years consultant and author who throughout her working life has been committed to improving the quality of provision for young children and their families.
This specialist
event for Lewisham attracted over 30 people including teachers, early years
practitioners, early years managers, arts practitioners and
facilitators, librarians and cultural organisations.
You can watch a short video of the event filmed by Laura Barbier here and visual notes of the event taken by artist Caroline Underwood can be found on this page.
Feedback from participants:
Good to share different ideas
CREATIVITY IS ALIVE
Linda was a very inspiring practitioner and the chance to play and create is always fun
What will you take away with you?
Creativity must be at the heart of my work
How import[ant] it is for children to be allowed time to be artistic and creative through play!
