Creating captivating spaces for under 5s
25th January 2016 
11am-3pm
A day of show and tell exploring the role of culture and creativity in developing enabling environments for young children and their families. 
We believe museums and galleries are brilliant spaces for young children and their grown ups. They are packed full of amazing objects and artworks, have lots of space to explore and plenty to do to inspire curiosity, develop communication and build confidence.
Join artists, researchers, early years and museum professionals to explore why the learning environment is so important in the early years.
Special guests will include Wild Rumpus who will be doing what they do best; transforming our Grand Hall into a magical, immersive environment setting the scene for a day filled with ideas and inspiration.
 We will also be joined by:
Iain Jackson, Research associate, Child Study Centre, University of Manchester
Rachel Holmes, Professor of cultural studies of childhood, MMU
Liz Hardy, Headteacher, Martenscroft Nursery School & Children’s Centre
Michiko Fujii, Atelierista, the Whitworth
Lucy Turner, Early Years Coordinator, the Whitworth 
Elaine Bates, Early Years Coordinator, Manchester Museum
Sarah Marsh, Family Learning Manager, Manchester Art Gallery
 
For teachers, nursery practitioners, those working in Children’s Centres or within the community, museum and gallery professionals, and students.
