All sessions are primarily online with some in person sessions once a week throughout the programme.

6 Week Course:

Final Showcase

Upon completion of the 6 week course, you will be invited to present your work at a final showcase in East London. Just like a creatives fair, you can showcase your work and learnings from the programme where our funders Foundation for Future London, local businesses and creatives alike are invited to spectate.
