BAFTA Roadshow with Place2Be arrives in Birmingham
On Tuesday 6 December, Children at Featherstone Primary School in Birmingham, were treated to a special BAFTA Roadshow with Place2Be.
Hosted by TV presenter Ben Shires (Dig Detectives, Officially Amazing) and Birmingham born actress, Kia Pegg (Doctors, The Dumping Ground), pupils enjoyed a special assembly and took part in a TV presenting masterclass.
The Roadshow exists to teach important life skills through film, games, and television. The activities on offer provide access to talent to raise awareness and provide positive, inspiring role models within the industry, while aiming to champion pupils’ creativity and boost confidence.
They also signpost the potential careers on offer in the industry and encourage and increase the diversity of young people interested in a career in arts and media.
On the day, the children were able to learn soft skills that are important for emotional wellbeing and career progression; and also participated in competitions, roundtable discussions, and classroom meet and greets with Ben and Kia.
BAFTA has been partnering with Place2Be since 2016 as part of its core charitable work to nurture and inspire the next generation of creative talent. In 2021, our partnership won the Action for Children's Arts (ACA) Outstanding Contribution to Children's Arts Awards.
This year, the BAFTA Roadshow has visited Place2Be partner schools in Dundee and Cardiff.
