Knowle West Media Centre

Welcome to the Knowle West Media Centre Summer Programme 2010

Who are we?
Knowle West Media Centre (KWMC) works with the community to develop the creative, educational and social potential of people within the surrounding area. We produce high-quality film, design and media work, provide exciting experiences for young people and run a diverse programme of arts activities. KWMC is committed to social and digital inclusion and works with a wide range of organisations, individuals and artists to produce media content and explore the role of media arts in communities.

What kind of things do we do?
• KWMC Creative Services offers ethical design services and undertakes professional film commissions for a wide range of clients.

KWMC Education provides a range of courses, both inside and outside school, that complement the National Curriculum and offers opportunities for enjoyable and practical creative learning.

• The ‘Imagination Station’ programme gives young people the opportunity to experiment with a range of media in an informal, after-school setting.

• Digital and Environmental projects and events promote the social, economic and environmental benefits of using digital technology and support people in sustainable living.

• KWMC's straw-walled building houses high-end media facilities including a studio/exhibition space, 2 conference rooms, training and edit suites, a sound recording room and a digital dark-room, all of which can be hired.

Keep an eye on the 'What's Happening' section of the homepage for the latest updates, or follow us on Twitter or Facebook.
