Encouraging creativity in early years education
In this session we will gain a deeper understanding of creativity and explore what is important in early years development and how the ability to think creatively has a
signi� cant impact on learning throughout education. The workshop will explore the many aspects which contribute to making a rich creative learning environment. These will
include: looking at the role of the teacher, co-learning and re� ective teaching practices, our view and perceptions of children, the impact of the environment and access to intelligent resources,
the importance of involving of parents and the wider community. We will look at the endless possibilities in which young children can express their creative ideas and explore the world. There
will be examples of open ended creative exploration and creative project work to provide ideas and inspiration for practitioners working in Early Years education. In the session we will look at the example of the world renowned pre-schools of Reggio Emilia which place emphasis on developing
creative and critical thinking.
