In light of recent economic barriers, many emerging Global Majority voices will be forced to pursue alternate career paths due to economic decline and the structural barriers of entering or sustaining a career in the creative and social sectors.
Creating a project, securing funding, or developing your practice is an art form in itself. It requires technical know how as well as soft skills. Over the years, we have gained extensive experience from being awarded funding from leading local and international, public and private organisations as well as engaging diverse Global Majority voices from a range of creative disciplines. The logical next step for us was to take our learnings and make them available as online courses.
With easy to follow tips, tricks, templates, and more, our Courses will help you to shape your projects in a methodical way and feel secure whether you’re looking to apply for funding or hone your creative and technical skills. Through sharing our knowledge in a simple and relatable way, we want to play an active role in encouraging greater participation of Global Majority voices and related communities in the creative and social sectors.
