Screen South Education Hub Meeting

I went to the SS Education hub on Wednesday. Alison Dilnutt (SS) provided a useful update on various sources of funding that we might tap. In particular the next round of Mediabox bids could be of interest. Mediabox funds projects involving 13-19 year olds. But there could be opportunities for our students to work with the 'yoof' in developing projects. Last time around film was favoured but significantly the next round of bids will prioritise multimedia ideas so there could be possibilities for students on both MP and DDM. Our students might get quite a lot out of working with 13-19 year olds on mm projects particularly if they are thinking about teaching etc.

Other key 'tings include 'On the Lot' - a fund for six apprenticeships in sound recording, camera craft, studio liaison, motion capture, and editing at Pinewood /Shepperton. Candidates must have HE or FE qualification. We should promote this with our students asap as the closing date is very soon.

there's other stuff too so get in touch if you want more info.
