An award-winning social enterprise is launching new series of workshops and training for young people from underrepresented communities interested in digital storytelling.
The social enterprise GORM is launching anew pilot talent development programme ‘The Wideshot’ which is aimed at increasing cultural and ethnic representation in the creative media industry, as well as to break down growing divisions in Ireland. The programme, supported by the YPCE Project Award 2023, offers young people aged 18 and 25 the opportunity to develop their knowledge and skills in digital storytelling, creative media and multimedia alongside professional industry mentors during several workshops.
This is followed by a week-long summer programme, during which eight selected individuals will get to tell their own story by creating a digital media piece. The Wideshot Programme participants are recruited through the programme’s four charity partners: Africa Centre, AMAL Women’s Association, Doras Luimni and Irish Traveller Movement.
