Darien Jean-Charles
Over the course of ten years, Darien has worked in education, videography and film, delivering content in all fields to a high standard. He has created pathways for young people to engage with media theoretically and practically.
Whilst collaborating and working with industry professionals on some exciting projects for the BBC, Bubble Theatre (Rotherhithe) and the Brunswick (Fulham), Darien continues to work as a teacher and EDI Coordinator facilitating creative projects and outreach programmes.
Sharing a passion for media and connecting with young people is where Darien’s journey began. This has led to him finding ways to give back to the community by liaising with contacts both in schools, youth centres and production companies to facilitate disadvantaged, aspirational young people with exciting opportunities to develop their crafts.
Alongside his partners at Content with Creation, Darien has found a group of like minded individuals who all have the same mission: youth meets opportunity when growth is facilitated. At Content with Creation, Darien has harnessed his skills to support the team’s collective vision to reimagine the educational sector and inspire the next generation to become future leaders in their fields.
