Make an impact by removing barriers to education
Creativity flourishes in culturally safe environments where diversity of thought and lived experience is recognized, encouraged and celebrated. NSCC’s School of Business and Creative Industries is on a mission to promote diversity within Nova Scotia’s creative economy by reducing barriers to education. Donations to the Spark Creativity Student Bursary Fund will establish bursaries for students from communities under-represented in the creative sector, helping them to pursue Creative Industries programming at NSCC.
“While I’ve had nothing but positive experiences in my short career, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel weird being one of the only people of colour on set at times. I love working on set, with lighting equipment and doing commercial shoots, and would love other people — like me — to feel the joy and interest that I feel.”
- Keandre Johnson (Applied Media and Communication Arts ’19, Screen Arts ’21)
