This first session is all about connection, creativity, and practical tools to help you grow in the creative industries. 

Working Class Creative is a community-powered platform that supports and champions creatives from working-class backgrounds, helping them access opportunities, share skills, and build visibility in a competitive industry. Their ethos of peer-to-peer support and self-mobilisation is at the heart of this session. 

Expect inspiring insights from the WCC team on self-promotion, networking, and community-building. Come along to connect with like-minded creatives, learn new skills, and enjoy food from Butch Salads in a relaxed, welcoming space!
