Opportunity for young people (16-25) to attend Channel 4 workshop on working in media

MyKindaCrowd, has partnered with Channel 4 to launch a Pop Up roadshow for 16- to 25-year-olds in five locations across the UK. Workshops will focus on factual production, marketing, or digital, and will be facilitated by our tutors and Channel 4 freelancers.

Who can apply?

The event is for anyone over 16 who wants to break into the media industry. We never say 'you must have this' or 'you must be like that' - we love it when the group is really diverse. All that matters is that you're truly passionate about the media industry, and that you've got a bit of raw talent that sets you apart from the crowd.

What is C4 Pop Up?

C4 Pop Up is a national outreach programme of skills workshops and challenges, taking place across the UK, to promote careers within the media industry and to identify undiscovered talent.

As the official UK broadcaster of the Rio 2016 Paralympic games, the theme of diversity and inclusivity will be central to the project and the young people will be working on Rio-inspired media challenges. Workshops focus on TV production, marketing, or digital, and are facilitated by MyKindaCrowd tutors and Channel 4 freelancers.

At the end of each workshop, the challenge submissions will be viewed and judged by a C4 panel. Each winning team from the three creative workshops will be asked to attend a C4 Experience Day. The overall winners will be announced in January 2016.

Meanwhile, individuals who are identified as possessing talent (based on merit, aptitude and effort) will be offered CV-enhancing opportunities with Channel 4.

Specific details of the venue and event will be revealed once the applicants have successfully passed through an online application process. MyKindaCrowd will hand-pick the winners based on experience and opportunity.
