Northern Ireland Screen has extended the deadline for applications to Friday September 2nd.
The skills development programme will run in Cannes from October 14th-19th and will provide a training opportunity for three children’s content developers or equivalent to experience the markets at MIP for the first time in 2016.
The aim is to encourage greater cross-collaboration between television and digital content development teams. In addition it will better enable them to deliver appropriate content to the marketplace. The programme will pay for the participants' travel, accommodation and accreditation costs across two days of MIPJUNIOR and two days of MIPCOM in October 2016.
MIPJUNIOR is the world’s leading showcase for children’s and youth programming and runs for two days before MIPCOM in October which is the greatest gathering in TV & Media. It is where the industry makes deals that will shape the future, from inspiring new projects to buying next season’s hits.
NI Screen describes its overall objective as a targeted intervention, which will help further participants skills in this arena, inform them of industry standards and requirements and network with peers and contacts, so they can compete effectively within the global industry.
