Insight
Sky wanted to provide schoolchildren with a fun, interactive and educationally beneficial service so they may experience first-hand what it is like to work in a news broadcasting studio.

Idea
Sky’s Skills Studios takes young people behind the scenes to see how Sky’s TV is created and then offers them the chance to make their very own television report. In teams, individuals can take on exciting creative roles such as camera operator, producer, director and editor, as well as getting the chance to work hands-on with some amazing technology including broadcast quality cameras, green screens and touch screen edit tables.

Impact
An intuitive, digitally-enabled environment that inspires, educates and promotes creativity and teamwork was completed in 2013. Five industry awards achieved. 

Three more Skills Studios in Livingston, Leeds and Dublin in addition to the London studio opened last year, each has the capacity to host 12,000 young people a year.
