How can artists, representatives of creative fields contribute to this process? What results can atbring a partnership between schools and cultural institutions? What is the place of imagination and creativity in these times of new technologies and the proliferation of images?

Many questions related to creativity and its development will be answered by the third forum for developing creativity "Creative Connections", which will be held on October 22-23.
