ConvergeThe Digital Women's Club is a dynamic network designed to support unemployed and underemployed women in finding roles and careers within the creative digital sector. The project centers on an interactive website (key to developing contacts and showcasing talent and experience) and is underpinned by free creative and vocational training in: music, film, design, tv production, dj-ing, radio broadcasting and website development.
Training is provided by eight leading arts organisations: Antersite, Betar Bangla, CIDA, Circus Media/New VIC, DV8/Eastside Records, Free Form Arts Trust, Point Blank and Urban Development. Shape, the country's leading disability arts organisation, will be supporting all the organisations in ensuring the needs of deaf and disabled women are met throughout the project. New Media Knowledge and Music Tank will be leading some high profile networking events.
The Digital Women's Club is led by CIDA and is London Development Agency/ESF co-financed.
