The Young BAFTA Roadshow with Place2Be arrives in North London
Children at Churchfield Primary School in North London were surprised with a Young BAFTA Roadshow visit this week, hosted by presenter Ben Shires (Dig Detectives, Officially Amazing) and actor/presenter Kia Pegg (Saturday Mash Up, The Dumping Ground).
Writer Dan Balaam also joined the Roadshow, sharing his experience working for global children’s entertainment company Moonbug Entertainment.
The Young BAFTA Roadshow exists to champion children’s creativity and teach important life skills through film, games, and television.
Each Roadshow includes a variety of interactive elements, including competitions and roundtable discussions, classroom meet and greets, as well as a presenting masterclass and a games design workshop, enabling the children to build their confidence.
The activities on offer grant children access to creative talent and positive role models, while raising awareness and encouraging the diversity of young people interested in a career in arts and media.
BAFTA has been partnering with Place2Be since 2016. This year the Young BAFTA Roadshow will visit 10 Place2Be partner schools across Scotland, Wales and England.
All selected schools have a free school meals rate above the national average and locations in England fall into the government’s education investment areas which were identified as part of the levelling up agenda.
