This event will bring together professionals from the education and cultural sectors, to debate the value of embedding creative skills in education and visions for possible policy responses.

Panellists will reflect on the main benefits of embedding creativity in the curriculum across schools and in higher and further education. They will also address some of the challenges that practitioners face and how policymakers might respond to this at a local and national level.

The discussion will be informed by a Burberry Inspire case study, which draws on new data from a four-year, longitudinal evaluation conducted by the Policy Institute at King's College London.

There will be opportunities for networking after the session.
