As we start to emerge from lockdown, the arts and culture sector is presented with an opportunity to start doing some things differently. With youth unemployment set to rise, what can be done to give real opportunities and jobs to a younger more diverse workforce?

On Wednesday 5th August we had a brilliant line-up of speakers to talk about what can the arts & culture sector do to achieve a more diverse and representative workforce.

To access this webinar, please book a ticket on Eventbrite. You will receive an email with the link to access the webinar on zoom. This webinar is free for unwaged or anyone currently feeling the pinch. For everyone else we suggest a £3 donation.

Co-chaired by Julia Huynh and Laurice McIntosh-Cargill, with Francois Matarasso

The country has started to reopen. The crisis is not over but as we start to emerge from lockdown, the arts and culture sector is eager to safely reopen to the public. And we want to hear from you! On Wednesday 8th July, the 4th episode of our webinar series gathered 5 industry professionals to talk about resuming our work and continue to positively impact our communities.

Co-chaired by Julia, Usmaan and Laurice, with Francois Matarasso

Part 3 gathered a variety of creatives and activists to look at the immediate future of outdoor events

During this tragic, scary pandemic, are there some positive elements of lockdown that we want to preserve. How might we do this and what role might outdoor artists play to improve society? How might public spaces be activated in the future? The third in EEA’s fortnightly webinars. Listen, think, “chat” or catch-up with other things with us in the background!
