Educational Opportunities

We are unique in having a classroom based at multiple world class studios!

Come and see us!

Here at Screen Alliance Wales, we are more than happy to show people around. We offer tours for educational institutions (for students from the age of 9) to allow young people to gain behind-the-scenes access to the latest incredible sets for some of the brilliant productions filming across Wales, and to meet the people who help to create these on-screen worlds. You can also participate in workshops, which cover everything from set design to script writing.

Educational tours and talks for young people

Learn about the Welsh Film and TV industry
  • Raise Awareness

    Screen Alliance Wales aims to raise awareness of the opportunities available for young people in the Film and TV industry.

  • Inspire young people

    From school children searching for inspiration, to college and university students looking for valuable experience to match their skills and knowledge, we’ll provide the motivation.

  • Professional expertise

    We provide professional expertise and experienced advice for young people who have the ambition to find a career in the creative industries.

Talkative

One thing we’re very good at is talking, which is why we frequently visit schools around Wales to talk to people of all ages about pathways and potential careers within TV. With insights into the world of television and film, we are hopeful that we can make an impact and turn more young minds towards the creative industries. You may even get to see a few props used on TV too… Be sure to enquire about a visit from the team!

 

Hands on

If you prefer a more interactive approach to talks, you can always see us with creative workshops, where we specialise in bringing out your imagination as much as possible. We hope that our motivation can help to inspire schoolchildren, from the age of 9, and adults alike, to create ideas that could one day go on to become a reality. These are perfect for those interested in set design or artistic areas.

Eventful

We try to attend as many Careers Days and events as we can to make sure that we can see as many people who are interested in the creative arts as possible. This way we can have face-to-face chats with people who may not usually get the chance and we are able to answer many questions asked. It’s also a great way for those interested in entering the creative industries to make contacts and get advice.
