  • Huddersfield Salon: Are we training enough creatives - or too many?

    Are we training enough creatives - or too many?
    Are degrees in the creative arts a passport to the future or just conning the kids?

    Culture Secretary Ben Bradshaw recently visited the Huddersfield Media Centre. He has said that: "Our cultural and creative industries have been a British success story in recent years. They have continued to grow strongly during the global downturn and will provide a lot of the future jobs and growth the country needs."

    This optimism has driven a massive increase in the number of people being trained in creative subjects in British colleges and universities. But when they graduate are they what the industry wants - and can there ever be enough jobs to employ more than a fraction of them anyway?

  • Huddersfield Salon: Throw open the borders? Is it time for a radical response to immigration? Tuesday 10th November

    Immigration into the UK is now greater than it has ever been, and yet the discussion around it is mealy-mouthed and one-dimensional. The government says immigrants are good for the economy whilst opponents say they take British jobs. But immigration is too important a matter to be left to the economists and it's about time we put it back at the centre of a debate about values and principles. It's time, say both of our very different speakers, to put the politics back into the immigration debate - so prepare for a lively Salon.more
