Are you a BAME? Gain broadcasting experience at the BBC!

The BBC Academy is organising a day of free introductions to the world of broadcasting to help black, Asian and minority experts feel more comfortable about appearing on TV & Radio as expert contributors or presenters – and boost the diversity of experts in the media. This includes experts in science, health and medicine.

The BAME Talent Days will offer a range of practical media experiences including sessions on camera and in a radio studio, as well as masterclasses and the opportunity to meet experienced programme makers and industry leaders.

The BAME Talent Days are for men and women and will be held in London (9 Oct), Birmingham (27 Nov), Bristol (29 Jan), Salford (26 Feb) and Glasgow (12 March).

The deadline for London applications is 31 August 2014.  More information - and details of where to send the application – visit the BBC Academy website.

Experts who are interested in attending the Birmingham, Bristol, Salford and Glasgow events can register their interest now and will be sent a reminder when the applications open: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected].
