Lecture in association with Book Trust: Staring into space with Lauren Child

Lauren Child, UK Waterstones Children's Laureate.

Date/Time: Tuesday 23 October 2018

Lauren explored how staring into space promotes creative thinking, letting us problem solve, understand who we are, and how we relate to others and the world we live in.
