As well as running film projects where participants learn technical and teamwork skills while working on supported film productions, we have also been involved in running specific training projects, courses and workshops for many years. We work with young people, students, adults and teachers, including taking young people abroad on cultural and skills exchange projects and organising INSET days for teachers. All teachers or facilitators on our projects are CRB checked when it is required. A list of some recent examples includes:
