Creativity in Children - Conversations with Dr Claire Warden #3

In this episode of Conversations with Dr Claire Warden we're going to be exploring the idea of creativity and creative thinking as I'm joined by people from across the world to really think about our own practice and the influence the adult has on creativity.We're going to start off by unpacking a quote from Juliet Desailly, and what it means for us in our day to day practice."Creativity has always proved hard to define, both in education and in its wider contexts. However, it has also been something that has been thought valuable and worth promoting."CREATIVITY IN THE PRIMARY CLASSROOM We debate the conditions that we need to offer children to help them to really flourish in terms of their creativity. We also discuss the idea of empowerment, the freedom to fail and to succeed, the freedom to destroy as well as construct within their play. We've talked a little bit about the power of the adult and the influence the adult has on creativity.Follow us on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter by searching for Virtual Nature School.
