Our Creative Intent
Creativity is an essential aspect of human expression and plays a crucial role in fostering well-being and a sense of purpose.
The ambition of the Kent Adult Education Creative curriculum is to engage the community through an energetic and diverse programme offer planned to meet the varied needs and interests of Kent’s communities, thereby ensuring high quality learning is delivered across the county in dedicated adult education centres, online and in neighbourhood settings.
Creative courses aim to build confidence through learning, allowing students to express themselves, think critically, and collaborate with their peers. By empowering our students to become confident, imaginative, and adaptable learners, we aim to develop students' curiosity, resilience, and adaptability, preparing them for future challenges, opportunities, and personal development.

Course aims

* Virginia Woolf is one of the best-known and most innovative authors of the twentieth-century; a leading light of the modernist movement, a trailblazer for women’s writer and a member of the Bloomsbury Group. Today, she inspires everything from criticism to adulation - her work assumed by some to be ‘a difficult read’ - yet she is more popular than ever
* Gain an overview of the writings of Virginia Woolf
* You will gain the ability to recognise and identify leading themes and ideas in her work
* Develop an understanding of parallels with her own life/autobiographical element
* Developing and justifying a point of view and taking part in discussion with other students

You will also be asked to think of Personal Aims to individualise your learning experience, as well as other benefits the course may have.
