RNIB Scotland and BBC Scotland are putting on a fantastic opportunity on 28 November 2023 for young people to engage with BBC Scotland.
“BBC Scotland are delighted to host this group event at our Headquarters at Pacific Quay.
Ensuring we have a diverse workforce that creates brilliant content that is representative of our communities is a key focus for us at the BBC in Scotland. We are constantly working to ensure we have a workforce that can enrich what we do with their unique experiences and perspectives, and we know that we cannot achieve this without working with other organisations.
We are excited about the conversations we are going to have as we host the RNIB and recognise that great connections can lead to great outcomes.”
