Cubitt Education: The Creative Conference

On the 9th of July 2009, as part of Children's Art Day, Cubitt Education is organising a major event at Islington Town Hall.  The Creative Conference is led by pupils from local primary and secondary schools, they are the organisers and delegates at the Conference and will be:

• Developing their own open-ended and ambitious creative projects, in collaboration with Cubitt artists, Councillors, and local people.
• Organising a series of EVERYBODY draw activities for their schoolmates who will be visiting throughout the day.
• Exploring the Town Hall, including the Mayor's Parlour and the Council Chamber
• Taking portraits of local Councillors, as part of the Picturing Politics project.

The Creative Conference is a major event in Cubitt People's Republic and aims to enable a variety of projects by young people in collaboration with artists: it is the children who lead; taking us on vivid imaginative journeys, and exploring the connections between creative learning, artistic practice and active involvement within a community.
