Education Ambassadors

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.

Applications for Education Ambassadors are now open!

We are currently looking to expand our Education Ambassador network. We wish to welcome more educators, youth workers and careers professionals who are passionate about inspiring young people to learn and realise their creative, cultural and careers aspirations through film and the moving image.

If you are interested in becoming an Education Ambassador, please apply by 23:59 on Friday 11 October 2024.

Our Education Ambassadors play a crucial role at Into Film by providing essential feedback, insights, and knowledge that drive and shape our programmes. They advocate for the importance of film in education and promote the Into Film offer among their peers and broader communities. Additionally, they have the opportunity to network and share best practices with fellow educators across the UK.

The Benefits of being an Education Ambassador

• Raise the profile of your work using film in education
• Raise the profile of your school/organisation
• Receive training at meetings, which contributes to your continued professional development and increases confidence with your use of Into Film products and services
• Exciting opportunities to represent your school, education or youth organisation, as well as Into Film

We are keen to welcome educators with particular interest in one or more of our core programmes: Film for Learning, Screen Industry Careers, and Filmmaking.

In addition, we are specifically looking to recruit more Careers Leads/Advisors, Youth Workers, Early Years Teachers and Ambassadors who are fluent Welsh speakers. This will help us to improve Into Film's offer to these professionals and help us deliver a bilingual service to schools across Wales.

With each new Education Ambassador comes an opportunity for us to bring in a different perspective, and we are always eager to further diversify our group.
