The Ministry of Arts, Culture and Creative Economy (FMACCE), in collaboration with Google, has launched an initiative to empower 2,500 young creatives to scale this number 10,000 across Nigeria through a dedicated training program delivered by the Del York Creative Academy.
A statement by Google said this collaboration is a significant step in advancing the FG’s Creative Leap Acceleration Programme (CLAP), which aims to drive skills development, innovation, and foster public-private partnerships in Nigeria’s creative sector.
The Minister Hannatu Musa-Musawa of the Federal Ministry of Arts, Culture, and the Creative Economy expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership: “This collaboration is a testament to our commitment to nurturing Nigeria’s creative talent.”
The six-week training program will cover foundational skills in visual storytelling and creative video content production. Participants will explore essential aspects such as storyboarding, shooting, editing, motion graphics, and the integration of AI in the creative process. Additionally, a select group will participate in a three-week intensive in-person training and mentorship program, culminating in the creation of a high-quality visual content project.
