We have lift off on 4Schools 2024! We are really excited to
get out and work with our partner schools to keep delivering aspirational and
engaging workshops to students all over the UK! So, what’s new with us for
2024…?
Virtual and In-Person Delivery
‘Zooming In’ virtually for some events with our schools in
2023 was a great success. We held virtual assemblies and Q&A sessions at
schools in Scotland, England and Wales that we might not have managed to meet
otherwise. This year, we are taking the blended approach of virtual/in-person
to the next level – all our schools with be offered snappy, virtual Inspiration
Sessions alongside in-person workshops throughout the year! Because time is
always of the essence for our schools, and timetabling is always tricky for
teachers, the blended approach will help us engage with more students without
the need for them to miss out on other events in the school calendar.
Tailored Support for Students and Teachers
We are working in partnership with our schools throughout
this year, building valuable relationships with staff and students alike. We’ll
be regularly checking in with careers advisors and teachers to support them in
supporting their students when it comes to creative careers. Our 4Schools reps
will really get to know those students at schools that are interested in
approaching a career in the creative industries.
More Q&As
Our Q&As were a BIG HIT in 2023 so we are keeping them
coming! Thanks to our huge community of Channel 4 volunteers from all across
the company, we are able to bring the creative industries into our schools!
Students get the chance to chat to people doing all sorts of jobs and get first
hand advice on what route into the creative industries are out there. Raising
aspirations is what we’re all about, so we’re so pleased to be able to bring
our Q&As to all our schools in 2024.
CPD sessions
We are thrilled to have started offering our schools free
4Schools CPD Sessions for teachers of all subjects to show how all subjects
teach relevant skills for students who might be interest in working in TV and
Broadcasting. Jobs in the creative industries can feel a million miles away for
lots of teachers who want to best support their students, but by educating
teachers on the range of jobs that exist in TV, our CPD sessions aim to
de-mystify the TV industry for teachers of any subject!
There we have it, just a few of the amazing initiatives we
are rolling out for 4Schools 2024! If you are interested in finding out more
