Sheffield’s Creative Industries Showcase – Get Involved!
The creative industries in Sheffield are vibrant and full of opportunity, yet many young people don’t see themselves as part of this world. For Discover! Creative Careers Week 2024, we’re bringing together professionals from various creative sectors—both the well-known ones like theatres and galleries, and others like video game design, advertising, festivals, music production, graphic design, architecture, and more.
Our goal is to break down stereotypes and misconceptions about who can thrive in creative careers. Young people are eager to meet and hear from individuals who grew up in their communities and have gone on to build successful creative careers.
And That’s Where You Come In!
We need you! No prior experience working with young people is necessary—if creativity is a key part of your job, we want to hear from you. We’re looking for professionals from as many different creative roles and sectors as possible, whether you work for a company, as a freelancer, or as a sole trader.
What’s the Event Format?
The event will feature speed networking sessions. No need to give formal presentations to large groups of teenagers (unless you want to!). We’ll guide you and the young people through quick, meaningful conversations. They might ask about your job, how you got started, advice you’d give to your younger self, and tips for their future.
