Parents, teachers and caregivers can hear about simple ways to enhance a child’s creativity at an upcoming celebration hosted by the UGA College of Education.
The Torrance Center for Creativity and Talent Development’s “Connecting with Creativity: TheE. Paul Torrance Lecture and 100th-year Birthday Celebration” honors the man who was a pioneer in gifted and creative education. Open free to the public, the event will be held Oct. 8 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. in the Magnolia Ballroom at the UGA Hotel and Conference Center, 1197 S. Lumpkin St.
