TICE Live Briefs

TICE Live Briefs give young people aged 13-18 real insight into creative careers from fashion and the music industry to graphic design, illustration, animation, photography, and film.

Each Live Brief is developed with input from industry professionals and connected to FE/HE pathways, helping students explore their interests, develop new skills, and understand where their creativity could take them.

We release new Live Briefs throughout the year, each one offering a fresh opportunity to respond to a real-world challenge, think creatively, and gain insight from the people and pathways shaping the creative industries.
