An+Imagination+Conversation


 * CS26. Lincoln Center Institute – An Imagination Conversation, A project of the Lincoln Center Institute **

May 27 Friday 1:30-3:00 PM HM 138

Join invited guests – including the creator of Imagination Conversations, Scott Noppe-Brandon – and explore with us the importance of imagination and creativity in education, gaming, design and the arts. Bring YOUR “imagination story” too! Now more than ever, we must nurture imagination in our schools, create environments for innovation in workplaces, and build cultures for creativity in our communities. Lincoln Center Institute is fueling the development of imaginative thinking through the Imagination Conversations, a series of moderated public panels being held in all 50 states. These bring together leaders from an array of fields to explore the importance of imagination in their professional lives and society. The Conversations are leading to a national gathering, America’s Imagination Summit, at Lincoln Center in July. Learn more about Imagination Conversations at www.imaginationconversation.com.
