Overview of the 2024 Lagos Creative Enterprise Week (LCEW): Schedule and Modalities
With the unemployment rate extremely high among Nigerian youths at 50%, numerous youths are convinced they have creative talents that could be used to empower themselves financially and get off the job seeker’s market. However, the challenge for them is that they don’t know how to start or how to engage to make a living from their creative talents.
The LCEW seeks to chart pathways for creatives to empower themselves. It is premised on a practical weeklong creative exercise involving talks; seminars, masterclasses and workshops, to help creatives in different genres turn their ideas into a profitable reality.
Masterclasses, Panel Discussions and Workshops:
These would be facilitated by thought leaders in the creative space to help creatives in different genres turn their ideas into a profitable reality.
CV and Portfolio Review:
Young creatives need to be aware of how best to position themselves in the best light especially regarding their creative works. Therefore, a CV and Portfolio review would educate young creatives on how best to “package” their creative history in the best possible light. This would be facilitated by highly experienced industry professionals who know what employers/clients are looking for in a creative’s CV or portfolio. This would run every day by 12am to 3pm
