Picture this: young children and the arts
This international two-day conference, organised in collaboration with Children in Europe partners from across Europe, will consider the significance of the arts (encompassing all art forms) in learning, social and emotional development and communication.
Prior to the start of the conference on 3 December there are a limited number of places available for a trip to Highland for presentations and study visits exploring the arts in a rural setting. Delegates return to Glasgow on 4 December to join the conference on 5 December.
Day 1 will offer delegates the chance to see a range of arts projects for young children in urban and rural settings in Scotland (including Highland, Edinburgh, Stirling and Glasgow).
Day 2 will bring together renowned experts and practitioners from a wide range of European Union and other countries and will consider the role and use of the arts in all services and the community for children aged 0-10.
The conference offers an opportunity to examine more closely issues raised by Children in Europe magazine Issue 14, March 2008.
