The program structure includes foundational sessions, practical training, and mentorship.
Participants will explore storytelling techniques, color theory, and digital tools, with collaborative projects to foster teamwork and innovation.
Each session is designed to enhance creativity and professional readiness.
Top 10 participants from each discipline will advance to a one-month accelerator program featuring project pitching sessions and grant opportunities.
Internships with partner companies will also offer on-the-job experience, further boosting participants’ career trajectories.

The final phase includes certificate presentations and showcasing of completed projects.
This initiative underscores Lagos State’s commitment to nurturing creative talent, fostering innovation, and positioning Lagos as a hub for arts and culture.
