Dazed Media has announced the launch of Dazed Academy, a new monthly programme of talks to engage and empower young people hoping to break into the creative industries. Always free and open to the public the live talk series sees Dazed Media opens its doors from its London HQ, with a workshop, podcast and video series to be announced later in 2020. 

Isabella Burley, editor-in-chief of Dazed said: “At a time when arts education is being cut and community spaces are diminishing, creating physical spaces for young people to learn how to create, collaborate, exchange, discover, share and work is more important than ever. By opening up our doors via this new talks programme we want to inspire the next generation to think about how many different career paths there are for those hoping to work in the creative industries.”
