BAFTA Games

This year Mediabox partnered with BAFTA, through an extensive relationship with Media Trust, to give 10 disadvantaged young people aged 13-19 the opportunity to write, direct and create their own video game, under the guidance of industry professionals. Young people were asked to write a short synopsis of their idea inspired by an issue they were passionate about. The young people were then invited to a four-day gaming workshop, where they supported by mentors to guide and advise them through the games making process. The mentors were provided by BAFTA, through Media Trust’s Youth Mentoring Scheme.

Krishnendu Majumdar, Chair of BAFTA’s Learning and Events Committee, says; "BAFTA is thrilled to have worked with Mediabox on this fantastic project, and we are delighted to have been able to offer the young people unprecedented access to video games professionals, who we hope have inspired them through their skills-based support. The final games illustrate the talents, hard work and dedication of the young people involved.”
