The University of East London (UEL) is proud to announce the launch of the Cultural Producers Programme, welcoming the first cohort of 12 talented young creatives. This pioneering initiative, delivered in partnership with Creative Newham as part of Newham’s Place Partnership programme and funded by Arts Council England, is designed to upskill and empower Newham’s emerging cultural leaders. Selected from more than 80 applicants, this diverse group of participants brings expertise from fields such as dance, design, visual arts, and acting. Over the next six months, they will engage in workshops, one-on-one mentoring, and placements with local organisations, gaining essential skills in event management, budgeting, creative programming, and community engagement. Their training will culminate in a group-led event at a local festival in spring 2025, offering real-world application of their learning. Professor Dominic Hingorani, Strategic Lead for Impact and Innovation for the School of Arts and Creative Industries at UEL, said, “We are thrilled to welcome this diverse and talented group of young creatives into the Cultural Producers Programme. This initiative embodies UEL’s commitment to breaking down barriers to entry and providing a supported, real-world training experience that prepares the participants for successful careers in the cultural sector. I’m very much looking forward to witnessing this group gain the skills and confidence they need to enrich the cultural ecology of the borough from within.” This programme reflects UEL’s longstanding commitment to fostering creativity, inclusivity, and community impact. Supported by key funders and in collaboration with Creative Newham and its 100 partner organisations, it aims to diversify cultural leadership and amplify local talent. We are excited to see the incredible impact this cohort will make on Newham’s cultural landscape and beyond. Read more 👉 https://lnkd.in/euJ_FYU6 #UELCulturalProducers

Chime Mali Chime. While celebrated as a CSR/ESG effort, what they failed to address was how jarring the sounds became, especially those used on the NSEWL (or otherwise internally known as Mainline). Perhaps I'm already accustomed to the actual Chime Mali Chime (Chan Mali Chan, a local folk song, used as a chime) on the CCL that I don't find it as jarring, but other people who've complained to me would think otherwise. What's wrong with using the same old, iconic "Ding Dong" which immediately makes people relate it to SMRT? If you hear that Ding Dong anywhere you'd instantly recognise it. Not this excruciatingly long and annoying noise though. Purported to help visually-impaired (VI) commuters know which bound arrived. Would you know the difference? Perhaps because I'm still affected by jarring noises (even though I try to tolerate it), you might still see or hear me cursing at the speakers, especially on ML because of how unacceptably loud the chimes are. What you don't know, is also what the company doesn't know, and sometimes doesn't bother to know.

Communicating a strategy can be challenging. Important messages easily get buried in reports and documents. But creativity can change that. As part of the Steering Group for North Yorkshire Council’s new Cultural Strategy, I have seen first-hand how the team tackled this challenge. Alongside sharing a document, they commissioned artist Billy White, one of The Artery artists, and poet Olivia Mulligan to create a short film. The result? A powerful and engaging story that brings the strategy to life. This is a great example of how organisations can work with early-career artists to communicate complex ideas in a way that truly connects with people. Take a look. This type of creativity is not just for the arts sector, it is a great way to communicate with business audiences too. https://lnkd.in/gqTz6yP8

Neurodiversity Toolkit and Guide for Event Planning La Trobe University has a neurodiversity toolkit for event planners, put together by Beth Radulski. While focused on academic events, it's nonetheless applicable to far more than students and visitors. Covering everything from sensory issue to cultural challenges, communication and language, and events both online and off, it's a comprehensive dive into both challenges and potential solutions. If you're an event planner looking to make your next event neurodiversity-friendly, this toolkit might give you some ideas, and perhaps a couple of things to check. https://lnkd.in/gSDjCBaf #diversityequityinclusion #neurodiversity #dei #DEInetwork #australianneurodiversity #diversity #neuroinclusion #neurodiversityawareness #neurodiversityinclusion #eventplanning #eventmanagement #latrobeuniversity

We have just completed several intensive weeks of ongoing training with David Bros and Jordi Roig, thanks to Esade Executive Education. These weeks have been enriching, focusing on a 360° view of the real estate sector and the high demands of the program regarding timelines and deliverables. Although the time felt short, I would have loved to extend it for another four weeks. I particularly enjoyed gaining a new perspective on viability models, which I will incorporate into my own models and the way I present information about the projects discussed in the early units. This has also helped me improve my project presentations. It is essential that we continue to invest in continuous improvement and digitalization to adapt to a rapidly changing world and avoid falling behind in the medium term. It has been an honor to share these weeks with several fellow master’s students, and I was fortunate to be part of Group 7 alongside Tomás Barbadori and Juan Bareño. Together, we collaborated on various group projects, extracting interesting ideas and mutually enriching our experiences. I want to highlight the active participation of Fátima Alvarez-Cofiño Tuñón, Alvaro Sancristobal, Juan Ocaña , and Catalina Saravia Damele , who shared valuable insights in nearly every class. I also look forward to visiting one day the biophilic offices that Carmila has in Madrid. I’m sharing a video that I absolutely loved from the program, as the future is already in motion… and by watching it, you’ll understand why. #RealEstate #ContinuousLearning #ProfessionalDevelopment #Sustainability #Innovation #Teamwork #ESADE #RealEstateTraining #FutureOfRealEstate #Networking https://lnkd.in/dgeN8Wtn
