In an age of rapid innovation, where children will encounter unimagined advances and navigate unpredictable dilemmas, the ability to creatively solve problems and be a lifelong learner is more important than ever before. However, education which focuses on building creative thinking skills is often seen as secondary to academically focused subjects. 

The fourth virtual meeting of the Education Policymakers Network focused on creativity and play based learning related evidence and approaches to education reform. 

The Education Policymakers Network connects policymakers from different countries to work, learn and innovate together. Launched in 2021, the network helps support and sustain education reform around the need to develop a breadth of skills – cognitive, creative, physical, social and emotional – in young learners.

Each of the virtual network meetings hear from a guest speaker on a specific topic and then look at the evidence of impact and existing policies around a specific reform idea.

An insights report is generated from each meeting that can be shared across the network. The meetings are also being recorded so that they can act as a resource for the members after they took place. 

This virtual network meeting is only open to participants in the Education Policymakers Network.
