Read all about the 2016 Creative Schools Symposium, which brought together leaders from 85 east London culture and education organisations.
The Symposium was absolutely amazing and me and my colleagues were blown away. We had such good fun and it really ignited the spark for us and reminded me why I was so keen to be part of Creative Schools.
