Hear directly from last year’s Dimz. Inc Academy cohort!

Last year’s Dimz Inc. Academy gave young creatives real access to the industry.

In one intensive week, participants worked alongside industry professionals to develop, shoot and pitch their own original ideas, gaining hands-on experience in production, storytelling and creative collaboration.

Since the programme, alumni have progressed into opportunities with organisations including Google and Channel 4.

“It was amazing to work with Amelia and the professionals, using equipment we normally can’t access.”

“I learned more in a week than I have in a year at uni.”

Applications for Dimz Inc. Academy 2026 are now open.

What happens when a Foodbank visit becomes a school-wide campaign? 🥫🎨

Over the past few weeks, young people explored the realities of food poverty and the vital role food banks play in supporting local communities.

They designed posters for a competition, visited Lambeth & Croydon Foodbank to see community support in action, and their winning designs are now fronting a school-wide food donation campaign.

That’s learning turned into meaningful action.

A huge congratulations to all the young people who took part, and a special well done to our competition winners! 🏆

Thank you to our school partners, our staff, and the fantastic team at & for making this possible because together, we gave young people the opportunity to build confidence, develop their creativity, and discover the positive impact they can make in their communities.

Before joining Engage programme, Tsana describes herself as shy and unsure of what she wanted to do in the future.

Through the programme, she explored the issue of food poverty, designed the winning poster in a school-wide competition to raise awareness for the local food bank, and then put that learning into action by volunteering at the food bank alongside her peers as part of a work experience placement.

From creating a campaign that encouraged community support to helping sort and pack donations firsthand, Tsana developed her communication skills, teamwork, confidence, and creativity while gaining a deeper understanding of the impact food banks have on local communities.

Watch Tsana share how the Engage programme helped her step outside her comfort zone, discover new strengths, and realise what she’s capable of 🙌
