Programmes supported by the Animation Skills Fund

With industry support, we are able to deliver effective training and support programmes UK-wide and online. In 2020 we have hosted knowledge sharing and skills development events with partners including the MOVE Summit in Edinburgh, Animated Women UK, Cardiff Animation Festival, and the She Drew That network.

In development are training opportunities on topics including budgeting animation productions, stepping up to production management and line producing, and writing for children’s animation. We are also devising a ‘Back to School’ initiative, which will support early career animation professionals to return to their hometowns and inspire young people to consider careers in animation.
