Children First Conference

Two smiling chidlren dressed up as pirates

 

Friday 4 and Saturday 5 November 2005

The Children First conference was an inspirational event aimed at:

  • raising awareness of the significant role of creative practice in early years settings
  • building a strong values based (as opposed to curriculum based) commitment to securing a cultural entitlement for all children. 

The conference was a thought provoking, hands-on opportunity to share knowledge and opinion about culture and early years, helping inform and stimulate creative arts work.
