British Council Partners TGMA
Organizers of the annual Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) have announced their partnership with the British Council’s SoCreative E-Learning Initiative, aiming to bolster support for emerging artists, with a special focus on the Unsung Category.
The SoCreative E-learning Initiative is a program that aims to provide innovative and creative e-learning solutions.
It focuses on developing and implementing online educational content and platforms that engage learners in interactive and immersive ways.
The program delivers a collection of free courses for the next generation of aspiring and early-stage young African creative leaders in the music industry amongst others, to support them through their business journey.
It also provides comprehensive training in various aspects of creative entrepreneurship which includes business planning, marketing, intellectual property rights, and more.
Curated by esteemed institutions like Henley Business School, University of the Arts (London), Afrinolly, and Belle & Co, this self-paced program consists of six modules, each accompanied by a certificate upon completion.
Participation also opens doors to British Council opportunities across Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and the UK.
According to Paul Akrofie (Project Lead SSA) of the SoCreative E-learning Programme, this partnership is necessary to give creative entrepreneurs such as up-and-coming musicians the opportunity to face the myriad of challenges that hinder their growth and potential in the music industry.
In the words of Robert Klah, Head of Public Events & Communications at Charterhouse, this partnership will not just help give a springboard to the next generation of artists, it will also help develop professionals who are business savvy.
Since Ghana does not have a music business school, SoCreative E-learning is a valuable intervention. Anyone seeking to play creatively and professionally within the music business space should embrace this initiative.
Indeed, this collaboration is great news for the music business in Ghana, and all are encouraged to be part of this great and rewarding experience.
The 25th Telecel Ghana Music Awards is produced by Charterhouse, with support from TV3, Guinness Ghana, Close Up, and British Council, and proudly brought to you by Telecel.
