Abstract


In this all delegate workshop, Imaginative Education (IE) as a theory will be described and its utility as a practical method of teaching demonstrated. Those who are new to Imaginative Education will have the opportunity to explore its basic elements while those already familiar with Imaginative Education will have an opportunity to explore the theory and its implications for practice in more depth. This will be a participatory, interactive workshop and all delegates will have the opportunity to take part in games and activities designed to introduce practitioners to the process of imaginative lesson development using IE.
