You are invited to participate in this public event bringing together artists, cultural intermediaries, researchers, activists and teachers to address the development of pedagogies for the creative industries that will serve the sector well in the short and long term. In so doing, this event will explore how to plan for the issues facing the future creative industries workforce, enabling the sector to navigate the current economic, cultural and social, realities and the unforeseeable challenges of the future suggested by current environmental emergencies. These realities and challenges include (but are not limited to):

• Issues of gender and power imbalances confronted by the #metoo movement
• Access, inclusion and participation in the creative industries
• The ongoing effects of precarious labour and the wellbeing of the workforce
• Sustainability of the sector and its ecological responsibilities
• The future of creative work and workers
