Through presentations, provocations and workshops participants will be invited to join the conversation about how we can develop pupil voice in schools and the impact this can have.On the morning of the symposium, children from Creativity Councils will come together with architects MATT+FIONA to make, perform, and build a physical ‘Brave’ space inspired by their creative journeys. The space will hold and reflect the children’s ideas, experiences, and voices, inviting delegates into a conversation about the importance of voice and agency in schools and the impact this work can have on oracy skills and wellbeing.The symposium will provide an opportunity for teachers, school leaders, artists, arts organisations, policy makers, funders, researchers, and others interested in young people’s voice to connect, share ideas, and celebrate the role of creativity in supporting children’s voice and agency in schools.Lunch and refreshments will be provided.This project has been made possible through generous funding and support from Paul Hamlyn Foundation, De Montfort University and Leicester Museums and Galleries.Location: Campus Centre, De Montfort University, Mill Lane, LE1 9BH
