Three of our Y13 Digital Creative Media: Film & Video students yesterday attended the Skills Summit as part of The Creative Cities Convention (CCC) at BoxPark Liverpool, where they heard from industry professionals representing Channel 5, Paramount+, Amazon Prime, BBC Academy and more 👏
Throughout the day, students took part in a range of interactive activities, including developing and pitching their own content ideas before presenting them to other groups, gaining valuable insight into the creative media industry and the skills needed to succeed within it.
It was an incredible opportunity to learn from experts, build confidence and explore future careers in film, television and digital media 🌟
The students really engaged and enjoyed the event and represented the college fantastically well 👍
