About Re:Generation 2031
Re:Generation 2031 is a Creative Estuary initiative that is focused on innovative approaches to developing the creative skills of young people in North Kent and South Essex. We are championing the next generation of creative talent and future cultural leaders in the region by giving them access to work, training and aspirational opportunities with the ambition to keep local talent local, diversify the creative and cultural workforce and support businesses to grow in the estuary.
An integral part of the Re:Generation 2031 project is our funded work placement programme for the creative and cultural sector. These funded placements are tailored towards young people who have lacked opportunities, who are underrepresented in the sector and who want to explore career opportunities within the creative industries. It is also an opportunity for creative organisations or individuals to increase their capacity and grow their business or practise.
So far, 18 young people from the region have been placed in a variety of roles (freelance and PAYE) with host organisations from across a range of industries such as Performing Arts, Web Design, Music, Visual Arts, Film Production and Fashion.
Creative Estuary is supported by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport’s Cultural Development Fund which is administered by Arts Council England.
