Creative PEC 'State of the Nations' Report Launch: 'State of Creative Further Education in the Four Nations'

Join us live at the RSA for the launch of the Creative PEC’s new State of the Nations report, which for the first time analyses the state of Creative Further Education across all four UK nations.

The new research delves into the dramatic and sustained decline in participation in creative education across all four UK nations. Using the latest data, our industry guests will dissect the implications for the future of the creative industries across the country at this critical juncture with the research team from Work Advance. With a new cabinet forming and the King’s Speech setting out the government’s priorities taking place, the timing couldn’t be more important for reimagining what a new era of creative education might look like, and what it could mean for the future of the UK’s creative economy.

Chair Lilli Geissendorfer, Deputy Director Creative PEC, will be joined by an expert panel to explore the report’s key findings, and to discuss the wider situation and outlook for creative education in the UK – an essential conversation for all those concerned for the future health and vitality of our regional and national cultural industries.

Panel discussion will be followed by a networking reception in the Benjamin Franklin Room. All welcome.

Speakers include:

Sara Whybrew, Director of Skills and Workforce Development, British Film Institute

Professor Paul Moore, Director, Future Screens NI

Chair: Lilli Geissendorfer, deputy director, Creative Policy & Evidence Centre (Creative PEC)
