The Into Film Education Ambassadors are a group of distinguished educators from across the UK that provide advice, insights, and feedback that help shape the Into Film programme - and we're currently recruiting for new members!
This core group of film loving education experts meet at least three times a year in their respective regional groups to share opinions, best practice and engage in professional development opportunities. They are also advocates in promoting the value of film education and the Into Film offer amongst their peers and wider communities.
We will be recruiting a new cohort of education ambassadors in the near future, so keep your eyes peeled. In the meantime, find out more about what we look for in our education ambassadors below.
