Del-York Creative Academy to Commence Training for 2021

With a promise for better and more robust training and innovative learning experience, Del-York Creative Academy has announced its one-month intensive on-campus and virtual training programme slated for the later part of the year.

The academy noted this in a media briefing on Friday November 19 this year.

This, it said, would see the springing up of a new crop of talented creatives from across Africa and in the diaspora, as they converge in Lagos, Nigeria to be trained by the academy’s faculty of internationally renowned instructors from Los Angeles, US.

Their coming is to provide uniquely skilled insight and practices in the professional arts industry.

The courses of focus in the programme include Acting for Film; Filmmaking; Cinematography and Set Lighting; Post Production, Fashion Arts and Crafts; Digital Marketing and Content Creation; and Producing and the Business of Film.

As Nigeria’s creative industry gears towards an impressive future of dynamic talents and global recognition, one of the institutions powering the transformation that will most likely expand the industry to become one of the strongest sectors in the world is Del-York Creative Academy, renowned as one of the foremost capacity building institutions in Africa.

In positioning itself as a school of choice among creatives, it is once again set to chart a new trajectory for the future of creative skills learning across the continent.

This is coming after a successful training programme in 2019 that saw the grooming of rising storytellers across Africa and the grounding of the on-campus programme last year.

The academy surpassed its milestone by successfully training thousands more creatives from the comfort of their homes – at a goal – following the pandemic.

With more than a decade of changing the narrative of over 5,000 young and dynamic talents who are currently leading the next league of African storytellers, Del-York Creative Academy seeks to bridge the gap, from the academia to private sector as well as governments for entertainment and creativity in Africa.

With its state-of-the-art learning suites, the academy has proven beyond doubt that its model will bring about a new age of African storytelling and the rise of storytellers who will take the African narrative to new and greater heights.
