Lessons From Now | SWCTN | South West Creative Technology Network

Lessons From Now

Between May and June 2020 a new fund, Lessons From Now was created.
The aim was to help support SWCTN alumni whose livelihoods have been impacted by Covid-19 (Coronavirus) to continue their professional practice at this critical time.

Grants between £1000-£2500 were available to SWCTN alumni who have previously received funding from the network.

We asked:

Is there a creative technology experiment that you can achieve from a position of social isolation?
Is there R&D you can do now for a future project?
Is there some future-gazing that you’d like to undertake?

We are now pleased to share the projects that were selected from across the South West.
