Inspiring creativity, celebrating culture "Creativity is the use of imagination or original ideas to create something". "Culture is the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively". This conference will be looking at our own creativity and celebrating our individuality and how we encourage young minds to do the same.
Brent is London Borough of Culture 2020, what better way to celebrate this early years conference than focusing on creativity in some of its many different forms?
