KCCUK Creators 2021

Our goal is to create a community of “KCCUK Creators ('Creators')” in the UK who can collaborate, learn from each other and grow as a collective.

**Please note: The KCCUK building is temporarily closed due to the ongoing Covid-19 health crisis. We are closely monitoring the situation in the UK and will reopen only when it is safe to do so. This may restrict opportunities for meetups and content creation over the next couple of months, but we are aiming to get started as soon as possible via online communication.
***Please also note that Creators involved in this programme will not be formally employed by the KCCUK, and thus, will be responsible for their own filmmaking and channel.
