Page last updated
NextWave Creative CIC gives young people aged 11–25 the opportunity to explore creative media and technology through practical, hands-on workshops across Bexley and surrounding communities.
Our sessions are practical and hands-on, giving young people the chance to try things out, learn new skills and work on creative projects. Young people can explore different areas of the creative industries, learn how equipment and technology are used, and develop skills through practical activities.
Our workshops can include:
Music production and recording
Live sound and audio
Photography
Video and content creation
Graphic design
Digital content creation
Live streaming
Creative technology
The activities we offer will vary depending on the programme, venue and interests of the young people taking part.
Our workshops are aimed at young people aged 11–25. Some activities may have a specific age range, which will be made clear when they are advertised.
No previous experience is needed, and young people do not need to own their own equipment. We provide the equipment needed for the activities.
We believe young people learn best when they have the opportunity to get involved and have a go.
Our workshops encourage participants to experiment, ask questions, work with others and develop their skills through real creative projects. Sessions can involve working independently or as part of a team, using professional and industry-standard equipment.
We want young people to see where their creativity and skills could take them.
As they develop, we can help them discover different areas of the creative and digital industries and explore opportunities for further learning, creative projects, volunteering, work experience and progression.
Our activities are designed to be welcoming and inclusive, with opportunities for young people with different interests, experiences and abilities to take part.
If a young person has specific access or support needs, please contact us before attending so we can discuss how we can support them.
Information about upcoming workshops, activities and opportunities will be shared through NextWave Creative CIC's website and social media channels. You can also contact us directly for information about upcoming sessions.
Some workshops and activities may require registration in advance, while others may be available as drop-in sessions. Details of how to register will be provided when each activity is advertised. Places may be limited for some sessions.
You do not need to own or bring specialist equipment. NextWave provides the equipment needed for our practical creative sessions. You may wish to bring a notebook, but the main thing is to come ready to learn, create and have a go.
There is no specific dress code. Comfortable clothing and footwear are recommended, particularly for practical sessions where you may be moving around or working with equipment.
