Are you interested in the Nigerian Creative Industries? You should be- they are one of
the fastest growing sectors of the economy and have immense potential to
address issues such as national development and youth unemployment among
others.
One of the challenges being faced in the Nigerian Creative economy though is
in our ability to understand, organize and tap value from it, in a way that is mutually
beneficial for all- creators, distributors, regulators and users.
The need for developing a national creative
industries strategy for Nigeria has
been identified by The British Council
and Gen Talks Creative. With the support of First bank, they are working
with stakeholders in the creative
industries to explore the following:
·
The profile and
dynamics of the creative industries in Nigeria: what is happening, trending and
moving the sector forward
·
YOUR aspirations
for the creative industries – such as your professional and business interests
or your dreams for a specific sector, city or region
·
YOUR perspective
on what the sector needs to develop, grow, innovate and make a real difference
to the economy and society of Nigeria.
In the light of this, an online platform has been launched www.gentalkscreative.com. The objective is to aggregate input from
stakeholders on various creative industry sectors including advertising, Broadcasting, Film,
Publishing, Software & Gaming.
As it
happens, I am a moderator in the design category. Thus, I am particularly interested
in hearing from those interested in
design, designers of all kinds,
engineers, industrial designers, product
designers e.t.c.
Over the
next few weeks we would be asking a series of questions to guide the conversation.
Today we
are asking; How can we mobilise a new generation of design
practitioners who collectively can find design solutions for Nigeria?
