Join us at Trestle Arts Base for a symposium bringing together the last two years of our Create, Speak, Thrive (CST): Bringing Words To Life project. CST is a research project exploring creative approaches to speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) using drama and storytelling techniques to develop a universal approach to language learning in primaries and providing teachers with new creative pedagogies.

We were delighted to be awarded Paul Hamlyn Foundation funding from the 5th round of The Teacher Development Fund, which aims to enable teachers and school leaders to develop their skills, knowledge and experience to embed learning through the arts in the primary curriculum. 

We'll welcome CPDL and sharing from our partners the University of Hertfordshire academic research team, seven school senior leads and teacher-researchers across Luton and Stevenage, our artist practitioners, SLCN specialist Charlotte Wood and the Royal Opera House. The event will culminate in a panel discussion on the future plans for the project and how to get involved!
