The Creative Education Festival 2026 will take place on 9 July 2026 in London, United Kingdom. Organised by University of the Arts London (UAL), the festival brings together educators, artists, researchers and cultural practitioners to explore the future of creative education through inclusive, collaborative and experimental pedagogies.
This year’s edition focuses on some of the key challenges currently shaping arts education, including AI and authorship, accessibility, multilingual participation, climate crisis, social inequality and the role of creativity in building more inclusive learning environments. Rather than following a traditional academic conference format, the festival combines workshops, conversations, installations, performances and interdisciplinary projects that encourage participation and exchange across different educational and cultural contexts.
The full programme and confirmed sessions will be published in early June 2026. The festival remains open to external participants and welcomes educators, students, artists and practitioners from outside UAL.
