Forest of Imagination 10.10.2020 in collaboration with TEDxBath, TED Countdown and The Big Green Draw – online and all welcome!

Forest of Imagination is now virtual! Co-founder Dr Penny Hay, explains:

“I do think that this crisis engenders real change, it is a catalyst to hone thinking around new ways of working, now and post Covid, on how we extend meaningful digital engagement responding dynamically and collaboratively to best meet the challenges head-on. Since May, Forest of Imagination has pivoted to a digital programme offering rich, interactive content, alongside artists and in partnership with the Big Green Draw. This includes co-designed online creative activities for children and families with our team of creative professionals and artists, and includes opportunities for feedback and engagement through our websites. For those homes with limited or no internet access, together with Bath Cultural Education Partnership, we are co-designing creative adventure boxes for children, young people and families most impacted by Covid 19 across the Bath area. We are now running up to 10.10.20 to respond to the climate crisis in partnership with TEDxBath and TED Countdown. Countdown is a global initiative to champion and accelerate solutions to climate change, turning ideas into action.”

Imagination is a Unique Human Capacity

“Our imagination is the unique human capacity to bring into our minds things that aren’t present. We daydream; imagination is everywhere; it invites potential and possibility. Children’s imaginations are powerful, they inhabit their imagination; exploring their ideas, feelings, senses, the light and the dark, always learning. Imagination has the power to release us from boundaries encountered in the adult world.” Co-Founder of Forest of Imagination...
