Redesigning belonging: How creativity opens space for inclusion and participation

Creativity goes beyond artistic expression. It drives change in education, business and community life. This panel looks at how creative thinking supports inclusion, cohesion and opportunity – especially for underrepresented groups such as migrants, people with disabilities and those facing gender inequality.

From music programmes for migrant youth to creative approaches in entrepreneurship and education, speakers will share how music and creativity can spark practical and lasting impact.

How do we build creative confidence beyond the arts? Can creativity be used as a tool for economic and social progress? This session positions creativity not as a niche skill but as a key force for resilience, innovation and community building.
