Application Deadline: January 15th, 2023
FOTEA and Oxfam invite young creatives between the ages of 22 and 35 in the fields of photography, videography, written word, illustration, audio and podcasting to join us in a workshop programme ‘Stories 4 Change’.
If you’re working in the creative industries, are a storyteller or have the ambition to become one and you’re interested in learning new skills, gaining valuable experience and helping to show the world fresh perspectives on global issues, we want to hear from you!
Stories 4 Change will bring together a group of young makers to explore different mediums and narratives and collaborate with industry leaders to develop projects ready to be pitched and shown to the world. Your stories matter, and we want to help you to tell them better, bigger and louder.
Participants should be young professionals with some working experience and a basic level of technical skills. You should also have an interest in exploring and documenting public, social, economic or political issues in creative and collaborative ways. The programme will run over the course of six months from February to July, and participants will be expected to commit a substantial period of time during this period. Stipends will be available to cover expenses incurred.
