CREATIVE WORK IN A POST | BREXIT UK

On Wednesday, October 12th 2016,  The Fourchettes and the University of Leicester Department of Media and Communication hosted an informal working session about creative work in a Post-Brexit United Kingdom. The round table discussion was part of Leicester Department of Media and Communication's 50th anniversary celebrations, and was hosted at Goldsmiths, University of London. 

The goal of this session was to highlight possibilities for shaping policy and drawing on academic-industry partnerships across sectors to safeguard and strengthen conditions for creative work in a post-Brexit UK. The discussion explored issues such as decrease in financial funds, creative economy metrics, class, commissioning, systematic barriers, cultural production, working conditions and student responsibilities/opportunities.
