The Creativity in Education Summit is a gathering of educators, policy makers, researchers, and industry leaders from around the world. Organised jointly by the OECD Centre for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI) and the Global Institute of Creative Thinking (GIoCT), the summit is dedicated to exploring the latest trends, approaches, and promising practices in creative and critical thinking in schools.
Since its inception in 2019, the Creativity in Education Summit has been a platform for stimulating discussions, and learning about innovative ideas and actions aimed at transforming education for the 21st century. The summit brings together a diverse range of stakeholders who share a common goal of promoting creativity in and for education.
The 2023 Creativity in Education Summit will be the stage for the launch of the OECD’s Professional Learning framework for fostering and assessing creativity and critical thinking, an initiative that seeks to enhance the teaching of creative and critical thinking skills in schools internationally. The professional learning framework arises from the OECD’s “Fostering and Assessing Creativity and Critical Thinking” project.
