With technology moving so quickly, we cannot imagine our children's futures - what the world will look like, what jobs they'll have, or how they'll spend their time.

But by nurturing each child's innate creativity, we equip them for the future as they hurtle ever-faster to even more fantastic futures for their own children.

Across the world, experts advocate for creativity in children's learning and development. But creativity is not just art or music in the curriculum. Creativity is an attitude, a reason for being. To celebrate this mindset, Illawarra Children's Services and Merrigong Theatre Company present a unique conference to challenge thinking, lift spirits and open minds to the power of real engagement.

With an outstanding line-up of speakers, we break stereotypes and present the message that real connections are forged creatively through hearts and minds.

Join us.
