START: Creative Futures Programme
Our innovative programme supporting young creatives into the industry with skills, mentoring and other exciting opportunities.
The Concept
START: Creative Futures is our new, innovative approach to supporting young people (18 - 25 year olds) to kickstart their careers and involvement in the creative industries. We know that over the past few years, opportunities for young people have significantly reduced, and getting into an already competitive industry is harder than ever.
We want to show how by developing skills, and with one-to-one and peer support, young creatives can rebuild confidence, essential skills and experience to help them thrive.
Following the pilot programme we ran over the Summer, we have divided the next phase by discipline. Four 6-week programmes - Theatre, Visual Arts, Music, Film & Photography.
