They are also unaware of the wide range of roles that exist. The TV Festival’s outreach and Talent Schemes aim to change that by showcasing the best talent who share their personal journeys to help encourage and inspire the next generation. We’re delighted to be partnering with BBC Three to show what’s possible.” The panel will look to explore how the industry can look to further improve diversity and the importance of finding new voices. They will also be giving us their tops tips, on getting in, staying in and thriving in TV.
