Imagine If... is Culture Bridge North East’s annual conference, which brings together delegates from the education and culture sectors to explore a key theme each year.
This year we are going digital. The conference will explore ways in which creative arts and cultural experiences might support children and young people to process, share their experiences and recover from the impacts of the global COVID-19 crisis, and to move forwards into a new normal.
Below is a list of the week's sessions. You can attend as many as you'd like - to book, please click on each individual session that you'd like to take part in.
