Challenging the misconception that pursuing a creative subject might not lead to a job is a real challenge for the creative industries. A first step for the Crafts Council is our Craft Journeys series: a set of career profiles exploring different routes into the craft sector.

Rachel Hermer describes Lifting Limits, a Camden-based social enterprise, born out of frustration with the slow pace of change in gender equality and the paucity of initiatives that tackle the problem at its roots. 'Our vision is to address the problem of gender stereotypes before it has time to take hold, for gender equality to be mainstream in schools so that children grow up without these limits.'

We are delighted to announce that we will be joining forces with British Land (Regents Place) and KQ partner Produce UK to produce our third Festival of Knowledge on Fri 5th and Sat 6th October 2018 at Regent’s Place. All Knowledge Quarter partners are invited to submit proposals for any of the festival programmes.
