CES
5th Creativity in Education Summit
2023 PARIS
Our Objective
Empowering Educators
The 2023 Creativity in Education Summit took place on the 23rd and 24th November 2023, co-held by the OECD Centre for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI) and the Global Institute of Creative Thinking (GIoCT).
The major highlight this year was launching the OECD Professional Learning Framework for Creativity and Critical Thinking (PLCCT) programme, an initiative that seeks to enhance the teaching of creative thinking skills in schools across the world. The Summit aimed to empower educators and learners to thrive in the age of creativity and innovation so that together, they may shape the future of education for generations to come.
Furthermore, The International Creativity in Education Awards were announced and 2023 marked the first year of CES becoming part of the the International Creative Thinking in Schools Week, extending the reach of the work being done to enhance creativity integration into school curricula by both teachers and school leaders.
Co-Organisers
The Global Institute of Creative Thinking (GIoCT)
GIoCT started as an institute in the UK, and now a registered charity. GIoCT’s mission remains the same from the beginning, to nurture creative thinkers, empower those we teach, and inspire futures. GIoCT wants to make a purposeful contribution with the seeds we plant to bring about meaningful lifelong learning. The main activities of the institute include evidence- based advocacy, international conferences and workshops, teacher-professional learning courses, and creative thinking programmes run in collaboration with schools.
The OECD Centre for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI)
OECD performs research driven work to achieve lifelong learning for all. It goes beyond formal education systems and reflects on the future of teaching and learning. While having a particular focus on emerging trends and issues, CERI aims to set a forward- looking and innovative agenda for a changing education landscape. The goal of CERI is to produce work that is thoroughly integrated with empirical analysis and innovation awareness, with specific emphasis on accumulating statistical evidence and developing key indicators to solidify its research work.
