Partners
World Film Collective is dedicated to partnering with organisations that can offer our participants opportunities, skills and a platform through which their voices will be heard.
By partnering with like-minded organisations to help deliver our workshops, World Film Collective is creating sustainable relationships between participants and their local organisations.
If you are interested in partnering with us or know of an organisation that might be, please contact us.
So far, World Film Collective has run workshops in collaboration with the following organisations:
Al Rowwad Cultural Centre
In Palestine we are working with Al Rowwad Cultural Centre which is an independent centre for artistic, cultural and theatre training for children in Aida Refugee Camp. The main objective of this project is to encourage self-expression through peaceful means in a secure and healthy environment. Through drama and art, the children who use this Centre are able to make positive use of their time, developing their creativity, fostering team spirit and feeling part of a family.

The Amy Biehl Foundation runs a series of programmes in South Africa, inspired by the committed service of Amy before her passing. Their programmes include Education, Sports & Recreation, Arts & Music, Health & Safety.
Ape-Media
Ape-Media is based in East London and provides training in the creative industry as a means of developing talent and improving the skills for those wanting to pursue a career in the industry. In doing so, they build the confidence and self-esteem of participants and promote team work, negotiation and leadership.
