In response to popular demand after Paul's very successful Creative Conversation 'How do we capture and measure creativity' for Forth Valley Creative Learning last year, we are very excited that Paul is able to open our 2014 programme of conversations.
Young people today are confronted with a tough, complex and deeply challenging environment in which to grow up. Some thrive on it, some find coping strategies, others are destroyed by it. What we know is that those young people who manage most effectively in this environment have the capacity to understand where they are coming from and to imagine different futures. In this conversation, we will explore the role that culture and creativity plays in developing this form of resilience. We will look at the combination of skills that underpins resilience, and the places where these can be learnt. Most of all we see whether the creative and cultural programmes can make a significant difference to the outcomes of young people here.
