Last Friday and Saturday three courses ran as part of the Media CPD Short Course Framework: Managing Creativity and Innovation, Media Coverage of Extremism, and the Master’s Project. After the two-day intensive residential all students returned to their respective workplaces to begin professionally oriented (fused) research projects which, in the past, have seen students on this programme drive change in their organisations. Seen here, enjoying ‘networking drinks’ after day one are some of the students and tutors (L to R): Tobi Adesuyi (Channel 4); Peter Bloore (Managing Creativity tutor); Newton Velji (Edinburgh International Television Festival Committee); Mark Readman (Master’s Project tutor); and Mukundi Lambani (Brainbow Productions, Johannesburg).
For more information, or if you’re interested in developing a course, contact Mark Readman.
