Mind The Gap!

MIND THE GAP!
The ‘Gap’ is ever present between school and further study, education and employment, academic and vocational across the European community. This event seeks to initiate an examination of these gaps and how creative education identifies, engages with and bridges these points of difference.
Mind The Gap! Comes at a time of significant change and upheaval in Europe how should and could creative learning respond to this?
This event will bring together representatives of creative organisations involved in education and learning at various levels form across Europe. Leaders, teachers, trainees are invited to participate in this inaugural event by ECCITE.
