DESCRIPTION:Create Central is hosting an online briefing to hear more about our upcoming Skills Accelerator programme of activities. \nCome and find out why we were selected as one of six UK BFI Skills Clusters\, and how this work combines with our wider activity most recently announced at the Create Central Shape the Future launch. \nThis briefing is an opportunity for you to hear an overview of our plans around the Skills Accelerator training programmes\, our commitment to engaging talent from underrepresented backgrounds and how we are building on industry partnerships. \nLearn more about how these activities will connect local skills bases\, support talent across the West Midlands\, and create opportunities to engage with Create Central further. We will be holding two online briefings on: \nMonday 26 June at 3pm & Wednesday 28 June at 1pm \nThe briefings will be approximately 60mins and are the same\, so you only need to register for one. There will be a presentation as part of these online briefings and an opportunity to ask questions afterwards. \nPlease note\, this is an introductory briefing and will give an overview of the upcoming programme of activities. There will be further detailed briefings in July about how to tender to deliver any of the training programmes outlined. \nTO REGISTER\nSTEP ONE\nPlease complete the monitoring form and you will be given a password to register for the briefing. \nCompletion and submission of the monitoring form is a requirement for taking part in any of our activities*. \nSTEP TWO\nEmail the password and the date you would like to attend to skills@createcentraluk.com and we will send details and a link for the session closer to the date.

We know\, like everywhere else in the UK\, our industry workforce doesn’t represent the people who live here. \nWe have been selected by British Film Institute (BFI) as one of six skills clusters. The funding focusses on establishing localised support for skills development and training\, with a clear aim to create new opportunities for people from underrepresented backgrounds to pursue careers in the sector – it is all about increasing equity\, diversity and inclusion in the film and TV industry. \nWe know it can feel like an irritation to be asked about private information\, but it’s really important for us to gather this data so we can start to see the impact of the funding we have been given and know that we are really reaching the people this funding is designed to support. We would be extremely grateful if you could fill in the form which is completely ANONYMOUS. A ‘prefer not to say’ option is provided throughout.

Platforms such as TikTok and Instagram videos and streaming giants such as Netflix all now host short and long form digital content that is created by a diverse talent for diverse audiences and is continuously remixed\, augmented and replayed. \nOver the course of the pandemic and beyond lockdown\, there has been a clear picture of the use of digital content within cultural contexts\, the use of Tik Tok and other short form content both as cultural and commercial content and how it has dramatically increased. In addition\, the use of digital has shown a marked shift in the diversity of content\, especially as regards queer spaces online\, cultural activism and representation. \nThis is the SIGN of the Times- a hybridity of consumption which means that an augmented and enhanced experience will be expected as we move out of lockdowns into a new future. \nThis event will be closed captioned \n\n\n\n\nHello Culture: SIGN of the Times is supported by the Screen Industries Growth Network\, using public funding by Research England\, part of UK Research and Innovation. SIGN is based at the University of York.’ \nThe Screen Industries Growth Network (SIGN) is a unique\, business-facing initiative supporting the TV\, film and games industries in Yorkshire and the Humber.
