“ArdorComm – Education Leadership Symposium” – A RoundTable Meet Event Theme: Democratizing Creativity: Ensuring Equitable Access to Digital Tools #ELS2025 #ELSNewDelhi #EducationLeadershipSymposium ‘ArdorComm – Education Leadership Symposium – A RoundTable Meet’ on 29th August in New Delhi will witness senior leadership from education and skilling fraternity. Academicians and educators from institutions of engineering, architecture, designing, fashion, arts, animation, gaming, and VFX will unite under one roof for a meaningful brainstorming session on ‘Democratising Creativity: Ensuring Equitable Access to Digital Tools’. In today’s digital era, creativity is no longer confined to traditional mediums—it thrives through technology-driven tools like graphic design software, video editing platforms, and AI-assisted content creation. However, access to these resources remains unequal, creating a ‘Digital Creativity Divide’. Many students, educators, and communities lack the infrastructure, training, or affordability to leverage these tools effectively. Democratizing creativity means making digital resources universally accessible, ensuring that talent—not privilege—defines opportunity. For education, this involves integrating creative digital tools into curricula, providing equitable access regardless of geography or socio-economic status, and fostering digital literacy. By removing barriers, schools and institutions can empower learners to express themselves, innovate, and participate meaningfully in the evolving creative economy.  Let’s co-create and collaborate to share experiences on innovations in the areas of creativity & design with inspiring speakers and creative luminaries. KEY DISCUSSION POINTS How can educational institutions bridge the gap in access to digital creative tools. Evolution of AI in designing and creativity. What are the new-age skills fostering originality and creative thinking? Models which can ensure long-term equitable access to digital tools in education. Role of institutes towards creative tool access on student learning and career readiness? ⁠Brainstorming the need for an industry-ready curriculum to ease the job opportunities.
