We are Common People.
Our community is a confidential and safe space, populated only by those with experience of being from a working class background. Everything starts and ends with our community. Within our community we have those that are hoping to break into the creative industries, hiring managers, leaders of creative organisations, careers advisors and educators, heads of industry bodies and charities, and people who have risen to the very top of the creative industries. We have a community that has enough breadth and depth to make a difference on its own, and because of our size and influence, creating change is within our own control. The relationships and bonds that have already formed between people within Common People are a demonstration that those connections will drive us forwards to achieving our goal. People have shared stories and advice, given support, found mentors, become mentors, found placements, and found jobs. This isn't about 'social mobility' and 'moving up', it's about independence and taking control of our own destiny, and helping those like us. The Common People community is a lifelong network of people just like us, who want to change the creative industries for the better, by making Common People more common. We are Common People, and we are proudly a different class. Come join us. |
