Invitation to attend
On behalf of the Home Economics Institute of Australia (Qld) I invite you to attend the 2009 conference Home economics: Creativity at work being held at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, Queensland, on Saturday 8 August 2009.
The conference is designed to empower home economics teachers to:
- reawaken your creative ability
- develop your creative teaching practices
- develop an understanding of the creative process
- demonstrate how creativity enhances the learning process
- develop new life-skills
- develop an understanding of how to nurture and develop student creativity.
Home economics: Creativity at work will provide opportunities to explore creativity as it pertains to home economics—that is, across a range of contexts related to everyday living. It will examine how we can develop and apply creative minds in both our personal and professional lives, including the development of students’ creative minds. It aims to raise awareness of the importance of creativity and disseminate good practice.
Participants can expect to hear the latest information from speakers who have gained their knowledge from hands-on experience, learn from the initiatives of others and develop new contacts.
The conference will provide an ideal opportunity for you to network with colleagues in a professional and enjoyable environment. We look forward to welcoming you to Brisbane for Home economics: Creativity at work.
