Bradford Digital Creatives is designed to expand creative education and cultural participation, improve health and wellbeing – and help develop new digital talent in Bradford, preparing young people for their future working lives.
More than 1,200 teenagers from will take part in the pilot project, working with artforms including audio storytelling, 360º video, games design and projection mapping. It will culminate in a festival premiering the new artworks, due to take place in summer 2025.
