Nations and Regions Media Futures x BBC: International Women’s Day sessions
On International Women’s Day (Monday 8 March), Nations and
Regions: Media Futures is teaming up with the BBC for two virtual sessions to
celebrate women in the media.
Expect lively conversation and insights from four leading
BBC media experts to help you realise your own potential and carve out
your future career.
At 1pm is our BBC
Children’s event. You can hear from Blue Peter’s 39th presenter
Mwaka Mudenda and Helen Foulkes, Head of BBC Education, overseeing BBC
Bitesize, BBC Teach, BBC Food and the BBC’s educational campaigns. They will be
delving into how they developed their careers in television, the women who
inspired them and the pivotal role BBC Education has played during the
pandemic.
Then at 4pm don’t miss our BBC
Sport session. We’ll be joined by Pam Melbourne, Assistant Editor Major
Events at Radio Sport, and Helen Brown, Assistant Editor at BBC Sport, for a
special panel session. They will be discussing what an average day at BBC Sport
looks like (if there is one!), their routes into the industry, plus obstacles
they have had to overcome on the way.
Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to hear from top BBC
industry professionals as we #ChooseToChallenge on this International Women’s
Day 2021. There will also be time during the session for an audience Q&A so
have your questions at the ready!
