FAME Week Africa Announces Partnership With iKasi Creative Media
FAME Week Africa Announces Partnership With iKasi Creative Media. FAME Week Africa has partnered with iKasi Creative Media – a non-profit organisation committed to reaching out to rural youth with industry linked training in audio-visual and digital media. By working at grassroots level with unemployed youth, iKasi Creative Media assists businesses in media to create meaningful impact on the lives of NEETS (youth that are not in employment, education or training).
In Africa, it’s not only technological exclusion that jeopardises the company’s competitiveness in creative products and services, but the lack of accessible training. At the same time, the digital media space, is booming and the world wants to hear African stories. With 66% of youth being unemployed in South Africa, iKasi plays an important role in connecting youth to the tools and technology they need to be empowered creators. At iKasi they say, “build the bridge and leave no one behind!”
Taking place in the Host City of Cape Town, from 24 – 26 August 2022, FAME Week Africa is home to African creatives and is set to transform three days of peer engagement and networking into lasting business. Meetings, screenings and content sessions will bring a plethora of opportunities to an industry ready for new prospects.
FAME Week Africa aims to be the go-to event for African creatives, providing them with a platform to bring their ingrained talent, their stories, their culture to the forefront. FAME Week Africa brings together co-related events focusing on the major creative economies, namely film, television and animation as well as music and entertainment technology.
