Cultural and Creative Industries Skillnet with the support of Animation Ireland, Coimisiún na Meán, Cartoon Saloon, and Turnip + Duck present Flipping the Script.

Flipping the Script is a webinar that aims to give people from underrepresented groups an overview of the basics of writing for animation in Ireland. The webinar is a precursor to two animation writing programmes beginning in early 2024. Full details of these programmes, including application details, will be announced soon.
