Aims

Impact
The summit drew the attention of over 60 schools from across Shanghai and both state and independent schools from the UK, engaging over 200 headmasters and teachers.
The summit also curated an online learning platform customized for the teachers in Shanghai to access the speech contents and follow-up materials, making up-to-date research and experience sharing accessible to a whole wider audience.
After the event, the two districts, Pudong and Jiading in Shanghai, have started to work on their own creativity curriculum schemes, pairing up schools and creating alliances of schools based on the aims and activities of creative learning.
