We provide customised workshops for your organisation. Sessions run 60 to 120 minutes and can be held in person or online. For creative practitioners, sessions focus on copyright and best practice. For licence holders, we cover using, creating, and managing resources responsibly. Topics include AI, contracts, data collection, and record-keeping, tailored to the needs of each audience.
