The project will pave the way for fruitful links between education and industry in the future with the development of the new creative diplomas soon to be part of the national curriculum.

The project has been developed by The Hub Agency in Derby as part of their work with Creative Partnerships across the region, to facilitate links between the creative industries and education. The Design Forum in Nottingham are supporting the students with the research and development of their project by supplying the platform network of information, contacts and links to the prolific textiles industry on their doorstep.

MY NAME'S MELISSA AND I AM DOING THIS PROJECT BECAUSE I LOVE DESIGNING CLOTHES. I WANT TO BE A FAMOUS SINGER WHEN I'M OLDER BUT MY SECOND DECISION IS A FASHION DESIGNER. I ALWAYS DRAW CLOTHES AT HOME AND I AM NOW DESIGNING THEM.

Its Day 1 of the textiles industry project, today was really fun, we had a talk as a group and we talked about parts of the industry that we didn't know about such as engineering and transport products. We then all picked a question about the textiles industry and we then went to research about it on the internet. I picked to research the history of textiles and i am going to find out about the techniques. It has been really fun and i think its going to be a good experience.

BLOG REPORT | 14.03.08
Carrie and Tash

Hello we are Carrie and Tash from Heritage school in Bolsover and we're this weeks reporters on the progress of our media production project.

The project is an opportunity to learn about the textiles industry but also work with the media industry to create a film about the careers we may be able to get involved with.

We re quite interested in the project because it gives us a chance to get real industry experiences outside of what we can learn in normal lessons and so hopefully gives us a better chance of being able to do the jobs we're interested in doing in the future.

We both got involved in the project because we want to be clothes designers but we're also learning about all the other things that we didn't know that people were doing for jobs in textile designs so hopefully this film will be an opportunity for other people like us to find out more.

All the work that we do to produce the film and the information we learn about the textiles industry is being put online in this project blog, so there will also be a resource available for people who want to learn more about work in both the textiles and media industries.

We presented our report at a Creative Diploma Event in Chesterfield.
