5x5x5=creativty

I have worked for 15 years with the charity, linking schools, artists and cultural centres together. Settings have included Marksbury Primary School, Roundill Primary School, Batheaston Primary School.

From www.5x5x5creativity.org.uk Website

The project is inspired by the creative educational approach of early years settings in Reggio Emilia. This internationally celebrated approach pioneered a collaborative way of working with young children that allows them to express their ideas in many creative ways, ‘in 100 languages’.

The key philosophical principles of 5x5x5:

children and young people are seen as innate and creative knowledge builders, explorers and co-constructors of their learning

educators and artists are enablers and companions in the children’s and young people’s learning within a culture of listening

learning is focussed on the process of the children’s and young people’s explorations, not the end product

documenting learning journeys is our method for evaluating and reflecting upon the children’s and young people’s thinking and learning

the development of a creative learning community of teachers, artists, co-workers in cultural centres, parents, children and young people

involving family and community in life-long learning
