An international symposium of the project “Creative Connections” will take place in the Palupera Elementary School on 9 August.

We welcome teachers, social workers, educators, artists and anyone interested in hearing about recent developments in the fields of arts and education, learning about exciting teaching materials, gaining inspiration, sharing their knowledge and making valuable new contacts across sectors.
