UNE Creative Industries Offerings – Regional Community Consultation

UNE Creative Industries Offerings – Regional Community Consultation

The University of New England is investigating the feasibility of Creative Industries offerings, to be delivered online and in-person at the UNE Tamworth campus. The new campus is a place-based initiative intended to serve as a regional hub for the New England North West and surrounding regions that will leverage the region’s existing and emerging strengths. Arts North West are supporting this journey and we are seeking input from musicians, artists, creative businesses, cultural organisations, educators, employers, students, local government and community members to ensure any learning reflects the unique opportunities, challenges and emerging needs of regional Australia. Your feedback will help shape the course structure and focus, practical learning experiences, industry partnerships and career pathways so graduates are equipped with the skills, knowledge and professional networks needed to contribute to thriving regional creative industries. This survey will take approximately 10–15 minutes to complete.
