Impact

Giving young people the tools, resources and networks to kickstart careers in digital media. 

Where did it start? The idea for Chicken Shop Date started at a youth club. Youth services are incredibly important and it’s always been a passion of Amelia’s to create opportunities for young people and help level the playing field. So, this year, we launched Dimz Inc. Academy: a free, week-long creative experience for 18-24 year olds who want to break into the world of digital media. Powered by Spiral Skills, we hosted hands-on daily workshops across ideation, storytelling, production and more.

The results: 20 young creatives gained new skills, connections and confidence. For us, it’s only the beginning of our long-term commitment to making the creative industry more open and inclusive.
