Creative Catalyst: The Creative Industries
In May 2022, Mortal Fools hosted a one-off digital event and invited Mortal Fools staff and creative professional friends to come together to share their career stories, industry tips, and lessons learned - real talk to inspire young people, aged 16-25 years old, into the creative industries. Watch our Creative Catalyst: The Creative Industries digital event recording here. This is the edited recording of the digital event and it’s available to watch now. It’s captioned and approx. 1hr 20mins long – feel free to share with any young people that are curious about working in creative industries. Teachers can use this as part of a career’s day/week in secondary school, and youth workers/creative professionals working with young people can watch this in your settings. |
