💫 #4Schools have been to Northern Ireland! 💫

Last week I has the pleasure of hosting a Channel 4 Schools Q&A session with local TV and Film industry professionals for the students at Ashfield Boys' High School in Belfast.

I'd like to say an huge thank you to panellists who volunteered their time to join me at the school, along with Jenny Savory for being a coordination legend as always and making the event possible! 🤗

🎨 Maria Mallon's inspiring stories from her work as a concept artist really helped bring the industry to life for the students and Hannah Murray gave her best tips and tricks about building a network in the industry and going for a career you are passionate about! Thank you for speaking so openly about your experiences! 📺

📽 It was fantastic to be joined by David McConnell from Northern Ireland Screen and Sean Boyle from Into Film who gave the students invaluable information about the range of training opportunities and routes into the industry available in Belfast.

Students and staff at the school have since commented on how much they learnt about the industry, and how to access it! 🤩

Thank you all again for supporting 4Schools to help inspire and empower school communities to see the creative industries as a vibrant and viable career option!
