Creative Portal Discover Creative Careers: Unexpected Creative Pathways in Product, Design and Science

This remote session explores creative careers in unexpected places, showing how creative skills can be used beyond the usual arts and design routes. It looks at roles that connect creativity with product, design, science, medicine, sport and technology, and uses real examples such as medical illustration, design for science communication and creative work for football clubs.

The session is aimed at young people aged 14 to 19 who enjoy creativity and want to understand where it can lead. Guest speakers share how they found their own pathways and answer questions about building a creative career, developing ideas and spotting opportunities in sectors you might not normally associate with the arts.

It is designed to broaden horizons and help participants see that they do not have to choose just one interest.
