Chair: Martin Drury Guest speakers: TBC Through a series of presentations and discussions hosted by Kids’ Own Creative Director, Orla Kenny and Kids’ Own co-founder Victoria Ryle, the day will involve explorations and case studies of the Kids’ Own archive, followed by discussions involving a chaired panel of guest speakers, and focused conversations, where participants will be invited to explore and interrogate a series of questions, including: • How do we make space for quality and depth of engagement to support children as cultural makers and creators in their own right? • How do we recognise and give value to authentic arts practice with children and young people, alongside professional artists? • How do we give visibility and credence to the work of children and amplify children’s voices within mainstream culture and literature?
