We make space for the brilliance the industry overlooks.
Most creative-industry programmes weren't built with global majority young people in mind. Ours are. We pay cohort members where we can, we accredit through real universities, and we keep our doors open for those moving sideways into creative work — not just those with a linear path.
Programme partners include University of Kent · Rose Bruford College · Medway Council · Arts Council England. 84% of Level Up graduates progress into paid creative work, further study or industry placements within 6 months.
Frequently asked
Who can apply to Level Up?
Young people aged 16–25 with an interest in XR, immersive storytelling, performance, AI, projection or creative tech. No prior experience required — we'll meet you where you are.
Is Level Up free?
Yes. Level Up is fully funded for participants. Selected cohort members also receive a paid bursary covering travel and materials.
Where do you run programmes?
Most run from our Medway base, with London and Kent satellite sessions. Online elements available where appropriate.
What if I'm not in education or training?
Our NEET Creative Pathway is built specifically for you. It's a softer entry point with one-to-one support before transitioning into Level Up or paid creative work.
