Bringing in some true creatives and community members to help, eott will be first providing the space to come and communicate, to conversate, and share ideas, whilst secondly hosting an open talk which invites those in attendance to again share ideas, but also to hear others stories, respect others rhythms, and come together to find some peace and normality in talking about our minds.

Much like in the tone of its online work, eott will be delivering (and encouraging people to partake) the session in an informal manner.

The afternoon will also feature screenings by Lighthouse Young Creatives (LYC) – a professional and personal development scheme empowering young people who aspire to work in the creative industries but face a variety of barriers to doing so. LYC also sets out to address the chronic lack of diversity within the creative and digital industries, which stems from ongoing social inequalities and a historical lack of access and inclusion.

The event is free to attend and you can just turn up.

Expect all of the above in our Dreamy Place Launch programme, with a trade show-style event spotlighting local talent, including live demonstrations by a local martial arts gym and a selection of curated short films programmed by Lighthouse Young Creatives alumni: Erin James, Hazel Davis and Lara Antoine.

The afternoon will culminate with an engaging ‘group therapy session’ talk, featuring collaborators and members of the public.

Lightworks is part of the wider programme of Dreamy Place Launch Programme delivered by Lighthouse.
