Dates: 20 – 21 November 2024

Welcome to this international conference on creativity in education, organized in Stockholm by Berättarministeriet in association with Karolinska Institutet.

The education system is currently undergoing a structural crisis both in Sweden and in many other countries. Globalization and new technology have driven a paradigm shift that has changed our view of the outside world and our way of life. But every challenge also brings an opportunity for innovation and necessary changes. You are warmly welcome to participate in the Norwegian Ministry of Storytelling’s conference, where we ask ourselves the question: How can we strengthen teaching that is characterized by creativity and innovation in order to promote students’ conditions to face the future?

The conference is addressed to academia, school leadership, teaching professionals and stakeholders in education. Participants in the programme have extensive expertise in the areas of creativity and critical thinking, encompassing both theory and practical application.

Speakers include Minister of Education Mats Persson ,  Ronald A. Beghetto , Arizona State University and Yulia Kova , professor at Goldsmiths, Jennifer Buggie, Teacher and Advisor for the Integration of Creativity and the Arts in Education, Ireland and Kenneth Nally, Curriculum and Assessment Policy Unit, Ministry of Education, Ireland.

Due to the limited availability of seats, early registration is strongly recommended to ensure your participation.

The conference is free of charge.

Time and date: 20 – 21 November 2024, 9.00 – 16.00 / 9 AM – 4 PM CET

Location: Aula Medica, Karolinska Institutet, Nobels väg 6, Stockholm, Sweden
