Educating for Innovation

with Tate's Head of Learning, Anna Cutler

A seminar that examines how contemporary arts-led programs build innovation capacity in children and young people.

Keynote speaker Anna Cutler, Tate's first Director of Learning will discuss Tate's commitment to learning in light of its work with children, schools and young people, whilst outlining her future vision for a Tate-wide approach to engagement with art that emphasises new contexts for learning and ways of looking at art.

These speakers include Michelle Scott, Commissioner for Children and Young People WA; Geoff Metcalf, Principal, Roseworth Primary School; and Dr Julie Robson, Postdoctoral Fellow, CREATEC at Edith Cowan University.
