Leading figures from across the creative industries shared their knowledge and expertise with Third Year pupils at Hampton School’s annual Creative Futures event.
The 12 speakers ran workshops and a Q&A session offering an insight into their field of work and the career paths they have followed. From video game design and public speaking, to architecture, journalism and marketing, speakers included James Helm, Head of Communications for the Metropolitan Police; George Pascoe-Watson, former political Editor at The Sun and video game artist Momotaro Ushido OH (2012).
The speakers encouraged pupils to make the most of every opportunity that comes their way and follow their passions.
