INTRODUCING CHIVAS & LEARN
Chivas & Learn is a platform built to elevate and upskill the bold and ambitious next generation of cultural entrepreneurs through open masterclasses and workshops. The path to success isn’t always conventional, so why should the skills be?
Created in partnership with Irene Agbontaen and her brand TTYA, with the first season kicking off with Irene herself and SocialFixt founder Mercedes Benson, we’re connecting the next generation with the people best placed to teach them the tricks. Having already built businesses from the ground up – and stayed true to themselves at every step of the journey – they’re giving back and breaking down barriers by sharing invaluable tips and guidance. Our ambition is to empower communities to uncover their own journey to success through access to insights & knowledge from cultural leaders & influential figures.
Bringing together creatives, pioneers and visionaries who have each shaped their respective industries, now is your chance to sign up to masterclasses and workshops that uncover the journeys of their success.
Because when I RISE. WE RISE.
