Creative Industries

21st February 2022

Understanding more about what actually falls under the Creative Industries umbrella and what opportunities are out there for those of us who wish to make a living out of being creative, the supporting industries, also the consideration of ethics and sustainability as a creative practitioner. This module is wordy and research based with visits from guest lecturers.

What an eye opener! I had no idea there were 16 different categories of industries in this sector. Some of the groupings surprised me. I also didn’t realise they represented that amount of UKGDP.
Expected learning outcomes and hopefully guest lectures/trips
We are very lucky in Weston Super Mare to have a lot creative opportunities, bith lically and in Bristoland Bath. However, it is such a small town that I wonder if there is a risk of over saturation. We have a lot of artists etc, but how many are actually able to make a successful career out of it?
We had a session on how to write a cv. For me this was a great refresher especially as all my previous CV’s are very business focused.
